I'll raise your haven't enjoyed GA since Feb. I haven't played GA since Anakin ruined the mode. Hopefully I'll be back next week.
well, Menneken worshippers will have to take one for the team then. anyway, he got owned by Obi, who should be more powerful to begin with.
yeah. i'm enjoying Geonosis ground though. not playing Kashyyyk anymore. getting into a ship and push buttons on Kaichiro seems so oddly familiar...
yeah, let's all meet and 'cry'
if i get Chewbacca, i stick with the troops and add extra firepower. what's wrong with him. can't get 150 kills running solo?
with the amount of bp being gained in CS for doing next to nothing, there'll still be plenty Menneken around. can't wait to get the ANH Leia. if anything, i'm sick of the stupid ship interior GA. plus it's so unpolished, makes my brain itch. at least i've bitten the apple and helped get it.
not true. i'm dedicated heavy, but for the event i've built a cheesy officer. i'm beginning to like it. bp out of the wahzoo.
This is our line of thinking as well.
This is a game and as such we will try to balance Anakin in line with other heroes. Just because he is the Chosen One doesn't mean that in the game he needs to wreck everyone. He needs to still feel powerful, and still feel like Anakin. He shouldn't be an I-Win button.
Music to my (eyes)ears. But where was this line of thinking when he was released?
Iron enigma treateth, Ultima
Shielding light retreateth, Ultima
Hydaelyn defeated. Ah, Ultima
"I have never died to a Finn"
Just give him 900 instead of 1000 HP
Make his pull working like kylos
Make his 360 push like Luke’s, without radius increase but increased damage or increased radius but lower damage increase.
His „saber breakthrough - attack“ like Rey’s dash strike
And retribution: increase time or damage needed for using this ability and that’s it or a add a cool down for like 10 seconds after the animation ends.
uhh your "other Heroes" are atrociously balanced in GA, you modeling Anakin off of them is legitimately cringeworthy. If your previous work is any indication he'll be trash next week as well. The other Heroes have remained in this state for so long too because either you, jay, or Guillaume have been by-in-large ignoring almost all of the 1600+ comments of feedback on the reddit page, and here, that go into staggering detail about the core elements of every Hero that just happen to make most of them entirely underwhelming or flat out broken in the infantry modes.
And instead of them being addressed you guys tack on useless window dressing fixes like giving knockdown immunity to some abilities, slightly speeding up a few animations, and giving chewbaccas charge slam slightly more range and damage. All of them being worthless in the context of making the relevant Heroes better in GA, and to that effect, frankly a waste of time.
Let's be honest here, your "line of thinking" effectively sells out to the highest bidder, or in this case whoever cries the most for the longest. Lmao, It's obvious too because at launch you guys even defended Anakins power level, as broken as he was. I've been genuinely expecting so much more from this sequel and this Dev team, and I can now see why all my friends that I forced to buy copies of this game finally uninstalled, this gripe is just the tip of the Iceberg too. This is a title that I Just want to love, and return too at every update, but anything more than an hour of play max always ends up a disappointment at every turn. I dare say the time I spend here trying to get the game in a more playable state could rival my actual playtime, and all that effort effectively is for naught, it's annoying.
Just had to get that off my chest, and hope you'll understand. Probably not, but it was worth a shot in the dark.
You mean designed to be the best? The only thing wrong with anakin is retribution & heroic might & the latter is mostly due to the playerbase

Is this Opposite Day?
It isn’t on my calendar and I don’t want to miss it. I love Opposite Day.
This is a huge flip flop. For months you said even in the community transmission he's the chosen one lol. This also shows you guys don't test your game at all why have game changers at all really if you don't use them. Surely they could've told you he was to powerful for GA. You guys intended for him to be powerful & now that you get heavily criticized you do a 360. As far as heroes go Kylo Ren is the only hero who's great in every game & is the standard for how a hero should be in all honesty. Kylo outside of anakin is the best saber hero overall & if he's anywhere below that just stop.
Having seen changes the game ruiners ask for, they prob wanted him buffed

The way he was designed, advertised (in Guillaume's words "powerhouse incoming"), and how his first few "nerfs" were handled seem to contradict your newer "line of thinking".
Hes just trying to get on everybody's good side now. He thought anakin should be that powerful because he was the chosen one & the backlash waa to much for him & the dev team
If that's what you think then why did you guys make him so ridiculously powerful to begin with if you wanted him at a similar level to the other heroes in the game
He doesn't really think that. That's just for PR
Yes, because Reddit is opposed to anything reasonable. Gimme a break. People there are crying for nerfs for Ani as much as you people are.
If you are bringing him in line with the other heroes, why are you making him cost twice as much?

So we can enjoy GA until his nerf on Tuesday
Both spot on.
This is nothing more than pure spin. I would have a better time accepting just admitting they added him OP(as they clearly stated and intended) and the attempt to use him to balance DS vs LS heroes didn’t work as planned.

They dont play their game so they cant really know whats balanced and whats not based on their testing sessions.
Experienced players are best at spotting balance issues in this game. You would need extensive playing against both scrubs and pro's to actually spot balance issues.
It is why ct's are needed

Your Heroic Might complaint, you should check out the Mortis arc in TCW because the episode where he uses the inspiration for heroic might and retribution are in it, ya know, when he literally paralyzes the embodiments of the Light and Dark sides of the Force and brings them to their knees. Not saying he should be like that in-game, but there’s precedent lol
Funny enough, one of the worst arcs in that show inspires one of the worst ability kits in the game.
XBL- JsOnMyFett 13
Towards the ends of maps with smaller areas and choke points, yeah, heroic might is a boss ability. But during the larger scale phases in GA and CS where there’s more open space, you have to be way more skilled to succeed with him because his abilities are tailored to close-quarters combat, especially after the ability radius nerf. His biggest contributing factor to being OP at this point is his extra health. If his max was 850 or 900 instead of what it is now, it would be more balanced.
LOL.....

still, mission accomplished.
I get that having Turning Point/Supremacy modes splits the player base, but at least it does so in a manner that maximizes our options and allows players to choose the playing environments that suit their fancy.
Are you talking about this scene?
It doesn't show anyone blasting anakin and him just absorbing all those blasters and explosions to turn into a force bomb. It shows him using the force to force push, choke, and pull.....which is more what retribution is doing. I'm fine with the animation of retribution just not how often it can be spammed.
As for heroic might though......NO......there isn't any basis in Star Wars for Force absorbing explosions and lasers to turn into a force bomb.
https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/148715/blaster-heroes-hello#latest
Actually. 50 second mark
Yeah, mission accomplished but it would be nice for them to hold their hands up and admit the mistake. That would go some way to repairing the relationship between the Devs and the community.
next time release 1 good nerf instead of 4 garbage nerfs
so basically you want the game to turn into a cartoon. how about 'whack' and 'pow' pop ups everytime you hit.
i had to play CS for 40 hours to get a skin i need. that train is gone.
TCW is the best thing star wars & has been for the past 10 years so sure. Also count Dooku, Obi-Wan, Maul, Anakin, & the clones are voiced by cartoons actors soooooo. Even the battle of kamino is from the clone wars. Nice troll though
You're entitled to your opinion. But I wouldn't say TCW is the best thing Star Wars. Far from it. And before you say anything, yes I have watched it and I did enjoy it. There are just certain things from the show that don't really have any business being in the game. Namely, Retribution and, to a lesser extent, Heroic Might. Retribution was an ability that Anakin only used once in the show and even then, it wasn't something he could just do on the spot. It was a special case. Heroic Might is a little more iffy but I personally think it's fine (if people would just learn not to attack him while he's charging it lol)
I'd say Rogue One was the best thing over the last 10 years.
TCW could be great at times, but when it was bad it was terrible.
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
It's easily better than the sequel trilogy & the 1st 2 movies of the prequel trilogy. Also people said anakin shouldn't have a force push or a generic jedi ability & they should give him something unique & they did. Heck rey has a mind trick she only did once & her dash strike is from a trailer & that wasn't in the movie at all. So putting a move in that happened once is fine.
Rogue One was pretty good. I'd still give it to TCW though. The 1st 2 seasons were mostly garbage but season 3 and beyond were amazing overall
Let me rephrase that. It was a move that he used once under very special conditions. He was on Mortis and since the planet was literally made of the Force, he was able to tap into a greater scope of power than he normally could. Besides, that entire arc seemed more like a dream sequence than anything. So it's not really something that he had in his normal arsenal. We didn't see him going around using Retribution all over during the Battle of Christopshis. As for Rey, we can comfortably assume that those are abilities and moves that she could easily perform on the spot if needed.
