It’s Blast Sunday!

SAmulticore · December 10, 2017 1:16PM

And you know what that means!

(Somebody tell me what it means)

Cad_Bane · December 10, 2017 1:18PM

It means you have a blast playing battlefront on a beautiful Sunday of course.

Oh, Am I wrong?

Regardless, good luck on the battlefront

OOM19 · December 10, 2017 1:19PM

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

DarthJ · December 10, 2017 1:19PM

Errr....yes?

Until somebody tells us I have literally no idea.

Mastahpeece · December 10, 2017 1:21PM

You can play blast on Sunday

Cad_Bane · December 10, 2017 1:43PM

Who else is excited for rubber banding Tuesday? Or AFK Wednesday?

Octavious_Wrex · December 10, 2017 1:46PM

It's blast Sunday guy! So let's all play some blast and stuff! Cause it's Sunday! Yeah I'm not sure what it means either...

MLGGrandMasterBroda · December 10, 2017 1:51PM

Lol at all these posts.

saltydog · December 10, 2017 1:53PM

Run Forest, Run!

After 5 minutes of playing Battlefront 2.

You forgot Loot Box Thursday.

It seems like nobody really knows. The devs have been pretty inactive recently.

MLGGrandMasterBroda · December 10, 2017 2:00PM

They are probably just sitting behind their computer screens, laughing their butts off because they were able to troll us so easily with a fake challenge...

Cad_Bane · December 10, 2017 2:02PM

Seriously though, It seems like they would have at least gave us a blast challenge that awarded a few credits. It would at least show some type of purpose to what seems like a useless event.

Trooper8059 · December 10, 2017 3:07PM

Looks like DICE forgot to open the Blast doors.

Lonnisity · December 10, 2017 3:30PM

Come on DICE... I enjoy this game. If you're going to create events at least follow through with them. It's like sending invitations to a party you never show up to.

Jbstiner · December 10, 2017 3:50PM

It’s reminiscent of the double score weekends for 2015 that never materialized...

Anco_1993 · December 10, 2017 3:51PM

Maybe this thread is the real event

Lonnisity · December 10, 2017 3:53PM

So far all I've uncovered is that Blast is on a Sequel Trilogy-only rotation.

MLGGrandMasterBroda · December 10, 2017 3:56PM

So I guess Blast Sunday just gives us a 3 map rotation instead of the full one. From what i've heard, it's Starkiller, Jakku and Takodana. I hate all 3 of those maps, so this just makes me want to play it less lol. It will be the same for GA eventually too right? I'm really not a fan of this...

Edit: Ninja'd

Octavious_Wrex · December 10, 2017 4:01PM

Wow, I though this was a glitch when it happened to me earlier because it went back to normal after a few matches for me. At least I enjoy those maps a lot for blast, especially Starkiller and tacoville.

Nihil · December 10, 2017 4:07PM

Good question....no event no achivement nothing. Why is it Blast sunday? Because it's sunday? Yeah ok...than I will have tomorrow a chicken breast monday and after that a rice and potato tuesday.

Or Starfighter Assult with a rotation of one map

And yeah, I don't mind Jakku or Starkiller, but as much as I like Maz's castle for blast it's one of my least favorite GA maps by a good margin. It seems so rare to get out of the first round on that map because for some reason half the players just won't go into the zone.

SAmulticore · December 10, 2017 4:33PM

I just checked their Twitter and there’s absolutely zero information about an advertised event day.

(edit: come on EA, you did this nonsense with the last game.)

stevenomes · December 10, 2017 4:59PM

i played a few games of blast this morning. didnt notice anything really that different. in the game on the front page new feed it says blast sunday but when you click it it just searches for a blast game. doesnt give any hint as to what it means. why should people care about future events if we dont know they are real or fake?

MLGGrandMasterBroda · December 10, 2017 5:05PM

All it does is give you a 3 map rotation of Starkiller, Jakku and Takodana... I am even less likely to play blast now because I hate all those maps and playing the same 3 all day would get boring fast anyway. I mean, at least give us a credit boost or something...

Salacious_Me_1138 · December 10, 2017 5:05PM

Just play Blast for Blasts sake? Are you kidding me? This is their idea of a fun weekend "event"?

rollind24 · December 10, 2017 5:09PM

I haven’t logged into the game yet today? There is nothing to do for Blast Sunday but play Blast like I would any other day?

Wait, is that serious?

The Blast event actually takes content OUT of the mode?

Please, tell me you're joking.

The same 3 maps over and over?? Are they wanting us to reenact the last BattleFront??

True, very true. I didn't consider that. I hope they are decent maps though because Crait (or whatever that new planet is called) looks to be completely flat and I don't know how interesting that will be if it is the entire map.

I'll break down Crait's Phases so you wont worry so much.

Phase one:
Open engagements with trench warfare along with sniping opportunities as well as Suppression zones.

Phase two:
Breach aspects while taking over the hangar and engaging enemy forces. Lots of pressure, very hectic, all out combat, a Murderous Killzone.

Phase three:
Deeper into the Crait Resistance base we go, for more of a close quarter combat environment leaving us with no other option but to fight with all we've got until nothing stands others than smoke rising and ashes of those long gone.

Phase 4:

Into the crystal caves we go, the final push. Leave no survivors. No witnesses shall speak of what has transpired. Fight for your lives in this all out mayhem of explosive action and tactical play. Be wary of traps, be wary of gas, be wary of being flanked from the sides and above, even below.

I've been playing other maps on Blast today.

Analytical/Critical Observation and thinking. Go watch the trailer. The Trailer itself showcases the phases in a mixed order.

Here i'll show you.

Trailer Link: now follow my marks:

At the 21 second mark, you see Phase one.

At the 36 second mark you see phase one ending and phase 2 beginning.

At the 30 second mark you see phase 3/4. (Phase 3's beginning / and where the rocket trooper takes off is where phase 3 ends/ phase 4 is next area behind it)

Remember Phase 3/4 are very close to each other and a lot of territory/ground players cover will inter twine. (Map isn't infinite) lol.

Space battle in DLC will have it's own self explanatory phases. We all know what's up with that.

I've been pretty accepting of this game and the devs decisions thus far but the lack of communication on their part is really getting on my nerves not to mention they've barely said a thing about Heroes vs Villians even though it has become completely unplayable.

Now that I've watched the trailer, it makes a bit more sense. Before now I had only seen pictures. Leia should be amazing in phase 1 though if you can get a hero fast enough.

Par for the course. Of all the games I've actively followed DICE/EA tends to have the worst community relations. And it's always been this way with them.

But they are totally trying to be as transparent as possible this time. How could anybody not be reassured by that?
