Sure it's good they are doing something no doubt. But sorry dude I'm not a kid. I've been playing video games since back when they released games fully finished but thanks for your concern. I'll take it under advisement.

Just saying. Posting for no reason other than to complain doesn't accomplish anything for anybody. Moreover it's just childish (hence me mistaking you for a kid). This thread is nothing but good news, and yet you still found something to complain about.

Not sure what the timeline that you've invented for game fixes is like, but in reality, things take time. Just be grateful that they are working to listen to feedback and continue improving the game. And are, in my opinion, doing a pretty great job thus far. Even if we have to wait a few weeks between patches.

I hope the new blaster glow is good.

Just don't get it. Been a whole month with nothing. And people praise them when they release something but say well we don't know when it's going live. Just wait another month and fix everything that is wrong!! I'd rather see that then something that isn't been addressed. Already bad enough most people paid $60-$80 for a glorified beta.

I get your frustration. Really, I totally do.

Respectfully though, even though someone says, "Thank you" for the work they are doing to improve the game, this doesn't mean that they don't have complaints about certain things or the way things have been handled in the past.

Keep in mind that the developers are mostly just coders and analysts who are here to do their jobs. They aren't necessarily the ones who made the go/no-go decision when the game was released, or the decision to include loot-crates, or the decision to set the price for tier 4 cards at 480 crafting parts, or even to have crafting parts instead of credits in the first place.

They simply do the best job they can do given the circumstances, and I for one am grateful for their efforts. They're going to accept responsibility for everything, primarily because it's their job to do so. However, the hard truth is that there are many things that are out of their control, and the players aren't always going to get what they want.

I don't blame you or anyone else for having complaints, and I've had many similar complaints myself. However, it costs nothing to tell someone, "Thank you" and not only is it the right thing to do, but it also makes it more likely that when you do complain, they will actually listen to you.

You will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Well said

Disappointed that han is listed as one of the heroes getting a tweak. He needs a health buff

No thanks.

Happy to hear about the Palp nerf chain lightening is so bugged atm it makes me never want to play the game. Yoda needs his health to allies be limited to a certain amount as well. The insight ability Rey has just makes every alliance hero fail in comparison sometimes I feel like I have to play her for my team to win. Officer needs a nerf as well it's kinda dumb they have the best gun for a trooper as well as a overshield and a turret.

Our team has been working very hard on the next patch for Star Wars Battlefront II. While the patch is currently in testing and headed for certification, we do not have an ETA for its release. You will know when the patch will arrive as we will publish downtime for the update ahead of its release in the Game Updates section of the forum.

But what is patch 1.2 going to fix and bring to the table?
Our limited time Jetpack Cargo mode arrives

Arcade Updates (AI updates and more)

Heroes & Villains Balancing (Boba Fett, Palpatine, Iden, Rey, Bossk, Kylo Ren, Luke, Chewbacca, Yoda, Lando, Darth Vader & Captain Phasma all see either, nerfs, buffs and tweaks)

Classes, Reinforcements & Core Combat (Dodge updates, emotes, weapon tweaks, SCS un-nerf, and more)

Milestones (Updates)

Level Design Balance Changes

Level Design Bug Fixes

General Improvements and Bug Fixes ( Duplicate SC credits, Blaster glow, lightsaber glow, color-blind settings tweak, performance and stability changes, and more)

and more...

I want to highlight that while some key Known Issues will be addressed in this update, a lot of them will not, the team is very much working to address them, and we hope to bring that list to zero items in the near future.

Full detailed patch notes will be revealed upon the release of update 1.2, and we look forward to discussing the changes in more detail at that time.

Thanks to this patch we have "A new hope"

I’ve always wondered how one brings balance to the force or how the force works.

Now we know. First we had a mediocre Darth Sideous. The devs push a button and something happens. Palpatine destroys everyone, aka episode 3. Oops.

So they push another button. Skywalker rises and destroys the Empire if I remember.

This is the season we’re in. With all the villains getting nerfed the light side might dominate?

Coming to a cinema near you ...

Plz DICE, no nerfs to either...

They probably will because, people complain about Darth Vaders Force Choke.

People will always cry about SOMETHING, all I want fixed is the duplicate SC credits, happy thats coming

Hero & Villain balancing...nice.

Arcade updates...cool.

SCS un-nerf...that's going to ruffle some feathers. Let's all get plenty of cheese, because the wine will be flowing in heavy volume.

lol, love your bottom quote there , I thought the game was fine from the start..... Im happy the SCS is coming back !! I've learned to play without it, now I must unlearn what i have learned

Did you fix FPS drops / micro lags for rest population of the game? Yes or no. I have this problem from 9.11.2017.

Octavious_Wrex · February 10, 2018 10:42AM

Hopefully they've finished in house testing and pushing it into certification, because that can take a bit of time in itself (especially if it gets rejected) There's really no telling how long a wait to expect from the info we have been given.

Always in motion the future is.

Kerfluffel · February 10, 2018 12:48PM

Most of these would be great to see corrected. The no credits for duplicates is a big one for me. ..lost SO many credits!! I think assault vanguard was nerfed a little too much as well. It did need some but find it useless now which hinders the class

Kerfluffel · February 10, 2018 12:52PM

There was also a weird bug where when you are playing towards a daily challenge, it doesnt count correctly until you leave the game and go back to the menu...small annoyance but wanted to make sure it was known. Looking forward to all the fixes thanks guys

Annihilator2789 · February 10, 2018 12:54PM

SCS is finally being un-nerfed, at least a little to its former glory. Thank you, EA and Dice.

rbtTheBOSS · February 10, 2018 2:01PM

Please fix the bug on the last phase of Endor. We get stuck on the character selection and only ends with the end of the game

Zbleh · February 10, 2018 2:14PM

Please give us galactic conquest, and fix those bugs/glitch jesus (wallbreach and this annoying thing when you get choke and the ch0ker dies you cant jump nor use abilities...)

Yoda Dance

If they turned that dance into a yoda emote that would be awesome. Technically it appeared on the blurays (albeit as an easter egg), so George Lucas liked it enough to let it see the light of day!

TritonPlz · February 10, 2018 2:36PM

Thanks for the update!!

Rocket32 · February 10, 2018 4:21PM

Palpatine is on the list..... RIP Palpatine.

It's pretty much confirmed that the patch coming will be a buff to Boba Fett.

kurzeZuendschnur · February 10, 2018 5:09PM

What about the combat roll against lightsabers? Will it be fixed/nerfed?

Thank you @Sledgehammer70 and all off the development team, I hope we can all look forward to what the future brings to this game. It's been rocky, for sure, but I'm happy to see everyone's still trying. I'm probably most intrigued by the hero changes, I hope Boba, Luke, and Phasma get some love : )

Give it a Season or two, who knows what the future holds.

I'm in the same boat. If we're lucky, we get the credits we were supposed to get from all of those given to us after this patch.

Can't wait to install that patch and see over 100K in credits. I'm purpling everything lol

Kniphtee · February 11, 2018 1:35AM

Just want the now 'common' (as in every 3 matches) getting kicked mid-round due to loss of connection - what gives? Didn't happen prior to latest server side patch? Xbone is going through some serious beating with all the black screens, game freezes, partial freezes, kick back to main and the loading time is atrocious; if the game wasn't fun to play it would be trash worthy right now...especially without milestones to accomplish for troopers, fps.

They probably will because, people complain about Darth Vaders Force Choke.

People complain about his choke... The complaints being: Not being able to use any of your skills after the choke (but Vader isn't the only one who causes this) and, his choke not working properly. As in: You're using Vader's choke but somehow your opponents are still jumping and rolling when they were supposed to be hung up in the air. This then leads to people complaining that they're receiving damage after the choke because they believe they're free of it when they're actually not.

Knightrider1621 · February 11, 2018 3:50AM

It would be cool if two local multiplayer’s are able to play online without having to be on different consoles, now that would be epic!!!????

Revan1 · February 11, 2018 4:02AM

Do the arcade maps mean just the blast maps? Or are the HvV ones being added as well?

YODA100 · February 11, 2018 4:14AM

But..... we still need grevious and droidekas please.

globalchaos_1984 · February 11, 2018 5:24AM

I still can't use the mouse and keyboard when any controller is connected I've tried a Xbox One, old DS4 and new model DS4 controller. Crosshairs go up to the sky and can't move character since launch.

If you're experiencing bugs please create a bug report over on our AnswerHQ section, or if you're having issues with the game of hardware you can discuss it in the technical issues area.

marroos · February 11, 2018 11:57AM

Cargo gameplay seems boring for me from YT videos. Fly, shoot RPG, take cargo fly, deliver, done. Too fast and boring doing same again and again. Maybe add it without jetpacks with bigger teams?

When is supercharged sentry going to get fixed? Since it´s not even worth equiping now...
