Can we please get accurate sounds for Darth Maul and Darth Vader's Lightsabers? Currently they sound exactly the same as the Jedi sabers, which shouldn't happen. Starting with ESB, Sith Lightsabers were given a distinct sound, ESPECIALLY for activation/deactivation, that's described as a "snap-hiss" sound. Vader and Maul currently don't have that sound to their sabers, and it really bugs me. Kylo's saber is good though, since it has its own distinct sounds in TFA.
Adding to Lightsabers, can we get more defined Lightsaber cores/colors? Currently the cores look a bit washed out, and the colors don't really pop out as much as they should. They just look off to me, and I'd love to see them look as good as they do in the films.
Will private matches be introduced?
HUD customization? I'd like to toggle everything off except opponent markers and my reticle bubble currently it's "all or nothing".
Thanks
2. Is there a chance for a lightsaber turn on/off option like in the last game?
3. Do you plan to add new multiplayer game modes later?
4. Could we get more Hero skins? For Han, Luke, Leia and Lando there are some options but the best would be a Chewie skin when C-3PO is on his back.
5. Could you increase the Hologram Cantina Band music volume?
Thanks!
-Palpatine is still very powerful and needs a nerf as soon as possible.
-Rey insight ability is still not working in versus arcade.
-Darth Vader is very strong in heroes vs villains even if he is not equipped with star cards.
(Suggestions - Clone commando's, Senate commando's/Senate guard -Coruscant Specific?-, Guerrilla/Irregulars/Militia, Bothans, Rebel special forces.)
2. Are we going to get modifiable versions of era specific weapons like the E-11 and DH-17?
3. Are you planning on making some lesser used star cards more appealing to use or reworking them at all?
(E.g. - Stinger pistol, Flash pistol, Repulsor cannon.)
4. If new game modes would be added, How would you go about keeping the community together rather than split all over the place?

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 at 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?
2 questions: When are you planning to start answering some of these questions?
And is there any possibility to be able to open loot boxes or craft/equip items in between games during the game loading?
Teams being severely unbalanced is very very frequent currently.
We want patches more frequently & with more significant changes. Also, the lack of communication with DICE & EA is very disturbing & we all want it to be improved. Everyone is dead quiet & it feels no one is listening to the fans or at least acknowledging us. Overwatch has developer updates, DICE should have something similar every week instead where you livestream yourselves playing your game & answering questions on Twitch in a livestream.
Some recommendations:
-MUCH MORE arcade content with instant action & all modes & maps & customization & vehicles available offline. More offline bots support.
-Galactic Conquest
-Have a TIMER instead of tickets. Bad players always kill the experience for good players if they just keep dying a lot & never get any kills & the team suffers. Timer is so much better.
-TEAM BALANCING EVERY MATCH. Everything is always lopsided.
-Health for specialist set at 125 or 150 & snipers not zoomed in so much.
-Improving lightsaber heroes & buffing them.
-Removing Heroes from the minimap at least until they attack.
-Adding more game modes or possibly removing Strike since not a lot of people like it or play it.
-Slight nerf for Vanguard, keep looking at balancing every single day.
-Lag/rubberbanding/server fixes.
-Make the game more easier for attackers for GA & SA. Extremely easy for defenders on SA especially since they just get kills as the objective.
-Removing all reinforcements from Blast (& maybe Strike).
-More open maps like SWBF 2015. These maps feel claustrophobic sometimes. More anti air support from the ground.
-AFK farming fix.
-Obvious improvements that are being worked on like progression, “pay to win”, Star card system, customization, more maps, modes, heroes/villains, vehicles, brand new innovative things to bring new players in, etc.
Would you guys consider giving every hero a health regen card? My idea was that every hero could have a health regen card but the amount of health the heroes get back would vary depending on the hero for balancing purposes.
Will we see other factions than just the main movie ones? A certain Yellow side is canon again. Wink wink nudge nudge.
Battlefront 2 , Battlefield and more.
Having all heroes equally fun and viable in GA is key to keeping the game fresh. I’m bored of seeing Palpatine and Rey every single round!
Hint: health regen is a big reason why nobody picks Lando, Chewie, Iden etc.
I would suggest making the directional markers temporary-only and fade after 2 a target is out of LOS for 1-2 seconds. Same for the ‘revenge’ marker when spawning in.
They should be there to give you an idea of where you’re being shot from, not give you 100% perfect, real-time tracking of every target out of LOS.
For example, I just watched a youtube video of Rey getting a 140 killstreak. I don't suppose you want to nerf Rey huh? Next thing someone would post a Sniper with NT252 and I don't suppose you want to nerf that? And the next and the next? The A WIng is pretty good you know, want to nerf that too?
Empty vessels make the most noise. Please leave the good things good an improve on the bad things. Don't make the good things bad and make the bad things worse.
Let the quiet people figure out how to kill Rey. Or a sniper. Or the new boba fett. Or the emperor.
Like -
*lag. i actually have to predict the lag with my shooting. so many times I watch my victim die on my screen and on the server I'm the one that dies.
*my PC game shuts down a lot when I play. for no reason it hangs and just quits to windows.
*at the end of online matches sometimes it says no data
And finally, I paid full price at the start. I was hoping to fly as hero ships. But I never get to fly as hero ships or when I do, everybody points at me and I die. Please let us fly hero ships in an ARCADE setting. That's all I ask.
Has it been tracking stats since the beginning.
Will the level cap be raised?
Are we getting Conquest ??
Will heroes be adjusted to be similar in strength and use, currently Boba is weak and so is Phasma, lightsaber wielders are weak compared to ranged heroes, Palpatine, Leia, Luke, Rey, Finn, Vader and Bossk seem to be the heores of choice, what about the rest ??
Are you going to address server lag ??
Are you going to address hackers ??
Will we get better graphic options ??
Is arcade going to be bought in line with Multiplayer with more options ??
Can you fix the Icons on objectives that currently obscure players view ??
Will we get better customisation on characters ??
Is matchmaking going to be fixed ??
Are the costs of the purple cards going to be reduced to a reasonable amount or at least offer us craft parts instead of duplicate card credits ??
Can we get an option to trade in cards for 50% of there costs in craft parts ??
Are you going to add a squad system similar to Battlefield 1 ??
There needs to be more incentive to play objectives and WIN matches.
My suggestion would be to give a massive bonus to Defending team if they win in first section, then a slightly smaller bonus if in second section, etc... And ultimately, there should be a bonus credit for winning. To my knowledge, there is not one, it seems to just be based on duration of match and how well you did individually.
Shallow challenges like kill 10 troopers or play 3 GA matches are done with virtually no effort.
Can we also get better in-match rewards for PTO gameplay?
More battlepoints and faster multiplier build-up for playing objectives, using squad sheilds, squad boosts and even just protecting an objective carrier.
Right now, the game rewards building a multiplier then just farming kills safely away from the objective as the fastest way to earn a hero. Just about the only PTO strategy that comes close to rivalling this is shooting Walkers/MTTs but this doesn’t even apply on half the maps!
Another thing I want to ask which leads back to vehicles landing, can we get multiple seat vehicles please?
Can we get what I will just call, movie accurate battles as a game mode? stuff like the battle of Hoth where you have to defend the shield generators, with no star destroyers in the sky due to the fact that the ion canons would take them out before they get that close. Stuff like that would be fun.
Now I know those are very unlikely to be included but I would like it if you could answer them at least.
My simpler questions are just stuff like camo clones on Kashykkk please, and to consider removing cross era heroes and weapons AFTER we get more of both, no sense in doing it now.
Will you rework SCS duration to be viable again against vehicles?
When you fix Palpatine's lightning through walls, will you at the same time also fix his lightning not working at close range?
And finally, can we have a team win credits reward please?
Thank you!
For me the game is almost complete, it only need Obi-Wan and General Grievous (which i hope they will be in season 2 ) and a map like Utapau and something where you can see yours stats but its not so important.
I dont wanna be delusional, im not asking for 250 new heroes or map, i just want General Grievous and Obi-Wan to hopefully be in season 2, im playing BF2 since its released but i need them now !
Feel free to reply or send me a pm
- new season
- starfighter assault on arcade mode
- character customization
- heroes balance patch
- new progression system
- maps and modes in arcade mode
Thank you in advance
