Yeah... Hero Unleashed is fun for some rounds, but it's to chaotig and becomes annoying after a while too.

It's a good thing for you that it's only around for a weekend then?

grimmace2 · June 19, 2019 2:36PM

My favorite event. Thanks!

LoneShooter72 · June 19, 2019 2:37PM

So will this event just be GA? Or will it carry on to CS?

General_Trex · June 19, 2019 2:45PM

Try a classic weekend. Take the capital ship phase out of CS, leave it as just the ground phase. See how we like it for a weekend. If it's a success, consider dropping the Capital Ships and putting those maps in strike as they play linear like strike, and allow us to have a truly non-linear experience, as well as make it considerably easier to turn OT era GA maps into CS as there would be no ship phase! It can all start with just an event.

Booo! It should have its own menu selection. JPC did, and we still have EH. HU deserves a shot in the menus.

What you are not thinking about is that some people can only play on weekends...so the "only for one weekend" get old really fast and means that it's taking one quarter of the time you can play. Worst event ever.

OcDoc · June 19, 2019 3:17PM

Sweet! It’s been a while and I have lots of play time set aside for this weekend.

I wish we could get a weekend of all the heroes in CS as well. Not just 4 per side.

chewielovesu · June 19, 2019 3:29PM

why not allow for up to 10 Heroes each side

MillSmit · June 19, 2019 3:34PM

Brilliant, it has been too long!

Because then almost no one would play the objective.

Good idea! They could put the ship maps in HvV also.

Except it's only one weekend in the last 3 months so isn't "one quarter of the time".

Also, it is one mode only - GA - so, play a different mode or don't play at all.

Mastahpeece · June 19, 2019 4:51PM

delicious

unit900000 · June 19, 2019 5:03PM

the best event in the game has finally returned its been to long.

Yes it's fine as long it ends after some days again...^^

LoneShooter72 · June 19, 2019 5:58PM

Soooo, no GA for me then. I'm tired of cs since its just clone wars.

Soooo, who wants to play death star 2015 that weekend?

Lee1981 · June 19, 2019 5:58PM

When was the last HU?

Seems like ages ago

KresusFIN · June 19, 2019 7:02PM

Ahh yes. The weekend where GA turns into Large-Scale HvV-with-objectives.

Could you guys possibly Hotfix the Stinger Pistol before it kicks off though? You know... Make it perform as advertised? @F8RGE @EA_Charlemagne

Something I said that rustled your jimmies?

Oh, I'm definitely aware of that, and it's a fair comment too. We are conscious of that, and there are a lot more less intrusive events such as Double XP that happen versus Heroes Unleashed (It's been a fair few months since we had Heroes Unleashed I think?)

The likes of Fast Spawn Events are usually around more than the Battle Point ones, and we are always looking to diversify the weekend events - or even just have a calm one (Double XP).

The_Sith_Apprentice · June 19, 2019 10:07PM

Thank you devs! I am looking forward to the return of HU. I only hope that the Xbox devs fix the sign-in bug which came with the latest update. I couldn’t play any game at all this afternoon. 😞

Because then almost no one would play the objective.

perhaps increasing the allowable Players on each side from 20 to 25 - 30 on a permanent basis would help with this and all other future GA modes and games

Speedjack · June 19, 2019 11:28PM

see you next week

holstar1993 · June 20, 2019 4:02AM

I like it initially because it's fun to be ultra aggressive as a hero, but it gets old quick. At least there's CS if you want a large mode without it this time.

AbyssWatch3r · June 20, 2019 4:34AM

lmao, you make this it's own playlist and all these other nubs will be waiting in dead ewok hunt and strike lobbies taking 30 mins to backfill at the earliest. I can't believe you guys don't see a clear winner when it hits you right in the face.

UrbanGlitch · June 20, 2019 10:44AM

So no GA for me then, yay

This. The only reason people wanted the ‘blowing up capital ship phase’ was because we assumed there wouldn’t be a cutscene in between.

Or because some of us thought there would be starfighters involved on that part...

After 3 weeks of not playing I shall return

Great idea. I'd love to be able to play the ship phase without sitting through the ground phase. I personally find the ground phase very boring. I'd love to have those maps on Strike, but I do like playing as a hero on the ships that would be lame to lose that.

theleebryan · June 20, 2019 7:57PM

Change the record guys, why not trooper only weekend?

As usual... a little too harsh, but I agree with your point.

Is there any particular reason why you don't consider Heroes Unleashed as a permanent separate mode?

Regular GA with Events and Heroes Unleashed made permanent would be awesome, imo. Heroes Unleashed would be the best Hero mode in the game.

Bandicoot · June 21, 2019 2:02AM

I really don't understand why this can't be a separate playlist, I mean the other weekend was wookie hell, now this trash. I get that alot of people enjoy it, a lot don't as well. The option to play regular smooth flowing GA would be nice.

kevanwithana · June 21, 2019 2:34AM

This game mode is so much fun. I love the chaos. I swear, people play the objectives so much more like this.

I love it. But even if I didn’t, you have CS.

Played that mode once or twice when it came out, never since, its trash. Will probably play HU, but after a couple of matches of chaos I would have had enough. Am looking forward to hero killing with boba though.
