UPDATE: We've answered some questions - check it out here.
Welcome to the battlefront!
My attempt to kick this off ahead of the holidays was not the best choice, and many questions asked previously have either become outdated, addressed, or remain outstanding. I'd like to attempt to kick this series off as a continuous developer/community Q&A and be able to maintain it as promised.
The goal here is to be transparent about game changes, balance tweaks, feedback on community comments or concerns. We hope to respond to as many questions as we can, and we only ask that you keep your questions and remarks constructive and actual questions.
How do you get your question submitted? Just post your questions below, and we will answer as many as we can. Please note we will most likely not get to every question, but we will do our best to surface the most pressing ones first.
Let's get this going!
Note: Posts that are not questions will be removed!

Thank you!
I love the game, I want it to succeed.
If you're looking for a teammate for HvV or GA, send me an invite online.
XBOX Gamertag: GodKC
Thanks!
Can we have team balancing, so teams dont outnumber each other?
Can you fix the lag please?
Does HvV need to have 4 players on each team to begin? Can’t the teams be balanced just to get started? As new players come in, they should be forced to spectate until both sides have equal numbers. Just a question to see if we can get these matches started quicker.
How about more maps for Star Fighter Assault? Perhaps some star fighter battles over open land, cities (Coruscant would rock), or through canyons and such.
Are you gonna add more heroes and villains? How about Mace Windu, Jyn Erso, Zam Wessel, IG-88 etc.? (These are just examples NOT a carved in stone wishlist) A Jango Fett skin would be nice too. (A personal request lol)
Can we get some higher payouts on matches please? 300-500 credits still ain’t cutting it.
Can you restructure the credit payouts to reward players on actually playing the objectives and not just kills?
Can we get rid of the loot box system and just let us use credits to buy the unlocks (progression) we want rather than using crafting parts?
How about a conquest mode?
I’ll have more later.
And can we expect to see cargo or drop zone coming to the game any soon?
- Worried competitive player..
Will there be any further releases of new maps and/or different objectives or anything else for starfighter Assault? If so, when can new starfighter content be expected??
- Will you add the possibility of playing during the daytime on Endor? (The night time version isn’t as appealing)
- Will you be giving us a map selector for multiplayer modes?
- Can you give Boba Fett’s blaster more range and accuracy?
1: are we getting conquest
2: any news on more customization (personally I would love it if you would make it more that just having a skin. Jaig eyes, for example)
3: any clone wars content?
But I only speak for me when I say

Edit: Here is the thread https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/94946/list-of-hero-card-that-still-dont-work
Also, when can we expect season 2 info?

Respect your fellow users (and Yoda), help improve the game and have a great day!
Will there be a plan released that shows what to expect season wise for the future?
Will Jar Jar ever make it into the game?
Any plans for a class vs class only mode?
Any possibility we get any or all of Cargo/Droid Run/Drop Zone in some form at some point?
Are there still progression system tweaks in the works?
Is Conquest mode being worked on currently or is it just a down the road type deal?
Any idea when we'll see SA and GA in offline arcade?
We ever getting online co-op arcade?
1-will we get a road map or release date with content news for season 2 anytime soon? Or a hint at month of release?
2-Will a map selector or even a voting mechanism be brought in?
3-will conquest mode (aka capture the flags) be brought in to SWBF2? Or could Supremacy make a comeback?
4-Finally, How often do you plan on releasing seasons, or content in between?
Cheers!
2. Any plans to add new announcers for the ST and OT factions? I remember having both a male and female announcer for both faction in the original battlefront. It really helped keep things fresh so we didn’t always hear the same voice.
3. Can we get more soundtracks added? Like the CIS theme and other battle related tracks?
Anyways, I wanted to ask about Torpedo Milestones in the game. There’s a great topic in this forum talking about the issue which points out a lot of problems people are having.
Basically, the milestones feel counterproductive to natural teamplay. You basically have to go out of your way to farm AI ships in SFA to have any hopes of getting the milestones this decade. If the number was brought down to 25 for all the milestones or, even better, changed to points earned using missiles (AKA getting rewarded for shooting objectives, which is the best use of torpedoes), then it would be greatly approved. Could this be a possible change in the future?
A minor change, but one that many of us would be grateful for. Thanks again for your time!
2.Are you going to give us more weapon reticule colours and shapes to choose?
3.Do we get more sfa maps?
4.Are you planning on fixing palpatine?
5.Are you going to raise levelcap 50 is not enough?
6.Are you going to give crafting parts from duplicates?
7.Could we get more credits for objective gameplay?
8.Can we get an option to toggle UI elements size?
9.Are you going to improve starfighter missiles?
10. Are you planning on Improving netcode. if game is 30hz? Make it 60hz or more if possible.
11.Are we getting proper squad system? Current one is bad. I want to stay together with party I have.
Can we expect more Customization then just selecting a Clone Legion or Species head? As those are great to have would there also be something like Clone Battalion markings or different uniforms for Officers etc?

Do you have any plans to adjust the balance of air support on maps like Hoth and Starkiller Base? The Rebels/Resistance always take control of the skies and have free reign to strafe the ground troops.
Thanks.
Will we get new game modes like Supremacy and Turning Point? Those were very fun modes.
1) Will you be implementing the game stats soon?
2) If so, will you be letting us track (at the very least):
Total time played
Wins/Losses or Winning Percentage
Eliminations with each type of starfighter (now we can only track to 250)
Eliminations and total points by each class (now we can only track to 400)
Eliminations by each weapon
Headshots and headshot percentage
Vehicles destroyed
Eliminations with each vehicle class (artillery, armor, speeder) or individual vehicle
Objective Score
??????
3) Will you at least give us the stats that BF2015 provided?
**** 4) With all due respect (I love this game and want to play it for a long, long time), will the issue of STATS continue to be a mystery or can you tell us definitively whether the stats will eventually be implemented in some capacity?

edit: spelling, added question
-Is there a general timeframe for when we can expect customization? Also, how much customization? Will it dip into not only movies, but tv shows, comics, etc?
-Will future DLC drops be about on the same scale as The Last Jedi season? (Nice job by the way, it was awesome)
Thanks for communicating with the playerbase!
-Is it possible to see first person mode come for more aspects of the game, such as first person mode for the sentry, first person mode when playing as reinforcements, along those lines.
Here goes - are you working on the team shuffle issue? Teams haven’t shuffled after maps since the first update.
Thanks!
Will the Light side get an ARMOR vehicle?
Will you add add more classes or non hero reinforcements? Such as Droidekas, ARC troopers, magnaguards ... etc
Also @Sledgehammer70 , how was jury duty
2. Along with #1 - we are being placed in matches with players from several different regions. Maybe this is the cause of the lag. Can we have a fix to this AND an indication of each player’s ping on the scoreboard?
3. When will matchmaking return? Will we have team shuffle after each map?
4. There are several issues with parties, from the waiting in queue disappearing, to slower load times while in a party, to loading into empty servers that never add more players. When will these issues be fixed?
5. When will you implement improvements to the squad system? Will this include a “partner” or spawning on one or more team members? Can parties please be placed in the same squad?
6. Will you do more to address cheating on PC? Fairfight + reporting does not work.
7. Will you add other game modes, specifically conquest and/or supremacy?
8. When do you plan to add customization to the game?
9. Can we have the option to change our default class from Assault? Or terminate the auto-spawn?
10. Can we have the ability to create different “card hands” for each class to easily switch between them?
11. Can we either have an increased level cap, or continue to earn credit bonuses after level 50, or both?
12. Will more work be done to stop AFK’s?
13. Will / When will stats be implemented?
14. Can we have the ability to choose a map and/or a votemap system added to the end of rounds?
15. What are your plans for changes to progression?
16. What are your plans for the MTX system? If it’s tied to customization, can you give us an idea of how deep the customization will go?
"Azier77, there's something very interesting going on with your Midi-Chlorian. The sample you send in sits at approximately 1,100. However, the specimen shows an unnatural behavior. This is extremely rare but it appeared that the density of Midi-Chlorian in your blood was altered at a different part of the body. Although the exact amount is unknown, further scan shows the Dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, which is situated in the frontal lobe region of your brain, carries the highest density of Midi-Chlorian. Studies have shown that the activity of this specific part of the brain was heightened massively during meditation. This is assorted directly with one potent force power, Battle Meditation. It looks like you're gifted with an ability of Battle Meditation, the power that can win the entire wars. This is already rare in itself, only a scarce number or Jedi has seen to use this force. But with proper training, you may find yourself using it to the highest potential."
Thanks!
Is Hero Hunt a game mode that can be added?
Yoda's block and Unleash are also very buggy and don't always work so will that be fixed?

2: Is Conquest Mode going to be added to Multi player and/or Single player
3: Will players be able to choose Male/Female avatars for all troopers in the future?
