Fusing Extraction with Strike would not be ideal.

UPDATE: F8RGE recently commented that it would take a couple of months to add an existing map to Extraction, which I can accept. However it was suggested that they may fuse Extraction with Strike, which wouldn’t be ideal. By the ways, thank you devs for spending more time on the forums.

Extraction needs a good amount of new maps across all eras and then they will see how popular it is!!
People will only play the same two maps over and over again for so long...
I think they should add a ‘party mix’ tile that includes all of the smaller game modes, but still allow players to access each mode individually
If that’s there preference.
Using mode population is not a great way of gauging interest in a mode after completely abandoning support for it and forgetting about the feedback a lot of players are giving you (add more maps).
Build them, and they will come.
THERE'S A SMALL PLAYERBASE BECAUSE IT SHRANK AFTER A YEAR OF COMPLETE NEGLECT WITH ONLY TWO MAPS.
The truth is, YOU DEVELOPERS *SHRANK* the player base for Extraction, intentionally as far as I can tell. What else is going to happen after more than a year with only two maps?
This kills me, because this is the ONLY mode my group regularly wants to play, the only decent mode not choked with heroes, and you guys seem to be deliberately murdering it.
Funny thing is they acknowledged the mode as “a bit of a fan favorite” a long time ago but still did nothing for the mode and now we’re at this point.
mixing it into the strike playlist will just make the quit rate between rounds go up as people search for extraction over and over and over and games will take forever to start.

What the ROADMAP should look like for 2019/2020:
“Season” 4: Episode IX
“Season” 5: Rogue One
My Roadmap prediction actually was correct! Who would have thought it?!
And you’d think that because it was a “fan favorite” they would acknowledge it and do something about it!

What a joke
Keep adding new Extraction Maps
You have to invest in new maps for it to grow
We new this a year ago
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Hopefully the devs will finally start listening. We don’t even need new maps, we just want more maps. It shouldn’t be too hard to take a section of a GA map, add in the payload and its path, and create new spawn points.

More fuel to the fire... Is it really that hard to repurpose GA crops and see how it goes?
It spiked because it’s an awesome gamemode, then dropped quite quickly because it only has 2 maps. What’s so hard for them to understand about this?!
Heading that way myself. I see Assassin's Creed Origins is on discount...
I actually was one of the blind people telling people it will get better
I feel like director krennic
You guys left this mode with only two maps for an entire year, and then use your low player numbers to justify not adding more maps. It's your own fault the numbers are low. Whoever is calling the shots is clueless.
I'd pay for some Extraction maps at this point.
I'm still hoping they don't give up on the mode completely and will add at least 2 maps or so at some time in the future. The mode is too good to be abandoned (same goes for SA).
Wish they would add at least the 2 Sullust maps from Bf2015.
It truly never occurs to them that the base correlation is what everyone has been telling them. GA and HvV have more maps. And being intellectually honest, you can’t even use HvV as a base of comparison for Extraction. The two modes have absolutely zero in common. Not a single unit from either can be played in the other.
These fellas are so lost in the administration of this game that they just can’t see what makes for a good game anymore.
Couldn't have said it better
Same here. Its tempting to stop playing CS and ga, just so I'm not contributing to their "it has higher numbers" nonsense. Of course with maps in the double digits ga has a higher player count that extraction. Of course CS being brand new and having more maps has a higher player count.
They also have 40 players per game.
I wouldn't be surprised if they counted the AI to justify their actions. But we'll never know because they never provide proof of anything
He knew.
Honestly there’s no reason why extraction needs to be OT locked. In fact it’d be cool to do a Kamino map where the droids are stealing clone dna stuff like that
Them saying the mode's numbers "have never been high" is infuriating. They spend years chasing out 80% of the game's Trooper players by catering almost completely to heroes, toss Extraction in as an afterthought and then ignore it for more than a year... And then they have the nerve to say its numbers were never high??
"People just don't seem to want to go to this park we built. Yes, it only has a single slide and a see-saw, and yes it's had a lot of wasp nests turn up in it and we've never cleaned them out. But people rarely seem to go there, they must not want a park..."
They'll ignore Extraction request either way. Might as well let them know how we feel about it.
Add me to that list. I played extraction a couple of times. The one where you move the cart right on Kessel right? I thought it was fun, but then it was Kessel again, and again, again. Is there another map on that mode? I havent seen it yet.. If there was more maps, I would try the game mode again. I like modes with an objective, with the team working towards an ultimate goal.
Awesome. And I’ll follow your reiterated point like I have in the past. I’m blown away that they haven’t utilized all the new CW cosmetics for Extraction. I fully expected them to and still can’t believe they haven’t. At this point I wouldn’t even care if they just rotated the factions on the same two maps.
But the real head scratcher is, what type of group takes the time to make a new mode, but then only supplies it with two maps, and limiting those to only one of three factions? Then, what’s even more perplexing, is basically the next focus of the game, an undertaking lasting at least a year, is in an era that is exclusively not allowed in their most recently added mode!?
Decisions... decisions...
They have been called many things, much of which has been unjust. Nevertheless, efficient has never been among them.
Disagree. While there are differences among the reinforcements, it’s negligible. We can debate the specs of the various abilities all day long, but it doesn’t matter. For example, past short range, the dps of the B2 is higher than WW’s, overcharge included. Also, the thermal imploded is the easiest grenade to avoid, with the noticeably long detonation timer.
They didn’t not make Extraction fo the other eras for the reason you suggest, they simply chose not to. The circumstances you describe exist on multiple phases across multiple maps in GA already. My guess is they had a much smaller team last year at the time and the Solo movie obliged them to do something. What they were waiting for was the opportunity to get into the CW era.
I’m not a CW hater at all and I think Extraction would be great if it were expanded there. Same goes for the ST. I’m still waiting for those WW/Flame Trooper matchups around the payload.
Those are fair points. I was actually disappointed when they released the capital ship maps and didn't use them as Extraction and Strike maps.
@F8RGE said it would take months for them to do this on another thread of mine. He even backed up his claim by saying that Felucia is already built, and that they are in the midst of playtesting it right now and making fixes.
