As a Luke main, I'm jealous
They didn't say no seasons, that's just something Denis threw out there this week. If they had never intended to do "seasons" of content they shouldn't have called the first content drop "the Last Jedi Season". I'm not sure why they thought that having a season one wouldn't make people anticipate a season 2.
Seems to me like just another line to try to keep people waiting for stuff they have been talking about since before release that we've still got no actual news on. Supposedly ObiWan and Grevious were planned to be in the game for release, and as far back as December they were dropping obvious hints that they would be adding them, and yet now it's march and still no word of actual content since TLJ season which was two characters and two maps, one of which they've added to a few modes.
They sold this game on the promise of a constant stream of free DLC, if they had actually had plans to follow through with that promise they needed to have things in the pipe by the time the game launched. After all the guys who make the models don't code the game, the art department is typically done months before a game is finished, which is why so many games come with special cosmetic DLCs at launch. Even this game had special cosmetics at release.
I'm a fan of this game, and am typically one to defend it, but that whole "we never intended to do seasons" line is pretty hard to defend.
Agreed. The man seems to put his foot in it a lot. Change their tune all the time too. Live service went out of the window before Christmas.
Eliminate the option to use these skins in other places, They should be used only in Hoth.
Another idea: Incentives
More health to the hero for using the correct skin.
Example:
Luke Hoth Skin in Hoth = + 35% Health
Luke Rotj Skin in Hoth = Normal Health
Hoth skins on other planets (Endor, Tatooine) = -35% health and you can not equip any star card for the hero.

Something similar was frequently discussed by the community before the game was released, would be interesting and add a bit more depth to the customization system that's for sure. Unnecessary depth though? Entirely different discussion.

There are 3 challenges to complete in order to receive the Hoth Luke appearance, these challenges will be spaced over the next couple of weekends. Keep your eye out
Some had been able to unlock it early on PC, this was a bug as noted in the announcement thread.

Well, it's an interesting option, I'd like to see it implemented in some way.
Incentives would not be bad.

So it’ll take us about 3 weeks in total to unlock one Hoth Luke skin?
What does this mean for the Han and Leia Hoth skins? Will it take 3 separate weekends each for them as well?
If the skins are already completed and some are even playing with them right now then why are we being tortured to wait even longer like this?
if every character requires 3 challenges in 3 weeks I hope it's a joke, 9 weeks for 3 skins, are we serious?
I know this isn't a sports game, but the way MLB the Show does the Live Service is that it releases new "Programs" where the end prize is a new hot player for your Diamond Dynasty squad with smaller rewards along the way. To complete the programs, there are a lot of grindy stat levels you have to achieve. I think something like this could be transferred to this format for skins, or unlockable Heroes.
For example, give us three or five or whatever challenges at once:
1. Get 500 kills
2. Inflict damage with Hero Abilities on 50 units
3. Inflict 20000 Damage on Objectives in Starfighter Assault
4. Get 20,000 score for Playing the Objective in Galactic Assault
5. Win 10 games of Heroes vs Villains
It will get people to continuosly play rather than play just for the measly 15 minutes to get 30 kills in Blast and then be done having to wait for the next day.
Right now we are getting breadcrumbs to overly stretch something that should be unlockable sooner to those that have more time to put into the game -- not to string the player base along to artificially attempt to keep day-by-day player numbers by arbitrarily witholding challenges.

Currently yeah, its going to be 9 weeks before we can have all 3. Its ludicrous.
The challenges will be from March 2nd - March 18th, yes. In regards to the other skins, no information has been provided in terms of how or when they will be distributed.

SOLUTION: Create Hoth skins for heroes... but make them open skins... but make them only available to those few people who complete a series of challenges over one specific week...
END RESULT: Most heroes on Hoth will still be in their pajamas in the arctic, but some will occasionally look suited for their environment (if the players so choose). Also now we'll have to see heroes running around sweltering hot planets like Jakku and Tattooine in full arctic winter gear, because there's always someone who likes to make sure we can't have nice things.
Why in the world aren't these skins just free and automatic for Hoth? Like they were in the last game?? I'm okay with the system of challenges to unlock skins, but these are literally the only skins that SHOULDN'T be part of that system, because they shouldn't just be freely available for any map. They're map specific skins. THATS WHY THEY'RE CALLED HOTH SKINS.
Come on, guys. This should be elementary stuff. Don't you have someone there whose job is to vet this stuff so it makes sense? I'm getting more and more worried for the future customization and content of this game, though I started in trust...
You stole my gif!
same. 550 credits... smh
What a joke anyway.
Lastly, make the challenges harder. Similar to how you did the smuggler appearance. You have these ridiculous torpedo/missle milestones for torpedo/missles that are easy as you know what to avoid, but you make getting a hoth skin (which shows more of a right of passage) something done in 1 or 2 matches of GA/blast/strike. Even if you are bad you can manage this task in 15 games of any game mode getting 2 kills a game.
Make this game worth people to still come off the street and play while also making the game interesting for those that have been with you from the start. Otherwise, some group will eventually be alienated if they haven't been already.
Bring back national service I say!!!
The problem is its likely to be 9 weeks for all 3 skins. I am usually patient but its taking the mick
We already have the heroes and villains in all eras and it's hard enough to bear that....
(It's understandable until we have more Heroes).

- Why can not we change skins in session ?
( We can only change it on the menu )
- Why in Heroes vs Villains: We do not see the skins of other players during the introduction. (only in game)
- Why are there so many balancing issues ; stability ; Bugs / Glitchs ?
- Why is Battlefield 1 better than Battlefront II ??
Why ?? Why ??????
It's shameful ... shameful....
Enough is enough...
In truth, the game is like Battlefront 2015 when it came out : Beta !!! .... B... E... T... A... ...
Bring back the MTX .... and finish what you started....
Dice you should could explain the rules on how to get it. It felt like a false advertisement. This time I keep my squadron of X-Wings in bay and cool our blasters.
Thanks for the fun. I will wait and DO try my patience.
So may the force be with you!
1 credit for join a game that ends.
If in the future will come new skins and people can actually pay for them then this is no option anymore.
I don't think they will take them back. We will just have to wait 2 more weeks rest of us mere mortals
I thought they had announced that Season 2 was coming in March? That would fit the pattern... Season 1 in December, Season 2 in March, Season 3 in June just after Solo releases...
"Hey everyone, the idea of having Hoth skins only on Hoth? You know, the way it was originally, that no one had a problem with, in the game before this one? What if we just changed it and made it worse for no reason? Wouldn't that be awesome?"
Someone actually had to ask if the lightsaber was blue. Because there was a serious chance that it might not be. And even if it hadn't been blue, even if it was red, you know there'd be a handful of trolls on this forum who would post and say things like "Jeez you guys are so picky," or "Hey don't take my red lightsaber Hoth Luke from me, I can play however I want!"
Yeah, it's unnecessarily complicated, but the only reason it's necessary is to fix the blunder of not having the Hoth skins bound only to Hoth (and I guess Starkiller Base, since we have this ridiculous wrong-era-heroes thing going). This overly-complicated idea would at least maybe salvage the awfulness of the Hoth skins release a little bit.
Though if anyone there cares about making things better, the obvious answer is to just make the Hoth skins free to everyone, and be them only show up automatically on Hoth (and Starkiller Base, for however long we still have the abomination that is wrong-era heroes).
My feedback is this blows and if we don't get some decent content in March I'll never buy a EA or DICE game again. I paid $85 for a game that was supposed to be a "live service". A game that was supposed to have better communication, more patches and more content drops than the last game. All of that has been a lie. It's not the customers fault EA made bad business decisions. At least don't insult us with lame 3 week for 1 skin challenges we are already upset enough with what's going on with the game.
But could you maybe turn off the 50 credit reward in place of emotes/victory poses? I don't know if it's because it chose one I already have or what, but there's plenty more that I haven't unlocked, and it's pretty lame. 50 credits is like a slap in the face. We're already tolerating extended wait, how about actually cutting us some slack for once and give everyone an emote/victory pose like is promised in the announcement? I don't know why every little thing has to be bungled up.
No more 550 credits. 500 credits and an actual victory pose/emote. It's really the least you all could do.
I think most are looking for a legitimate new season, this makes it look like we're not seeing a new season, new DLC, new anything, in awhile.
When we saw new Luke Skin but then have to wait 2 more weeks to use him
The problem is it seems they are covering this up as "new" content as promised. But this is not "new" content and it is not free. I, as many others, paid full price for this game. And 9 weeks to complete this is ridiculous. If you think other wise you are entitled to your opinion. As for national service, I served 21 years in the corps. Certainly do not need a lecture on that.
I completely suck , 2 kills a day ? I think I can do this one !!
Today I spent 10 minutes in GA to get my new content - a big shiny "Cosmetics Crate" with a whopping 500 credits that I can spend in whatever way I want! I can use it to buy 1/4 to 1/6 of my choice out of three randomly packed loot boxes and get half my credits back in duplicates and 35 crafting pieces to buy to 1/15 of a starcard upgrade.
And then in only a few more weeks I'll get to see Luke in an amazing new skin! This can't get any better.
Sorry for going off topic, but shoutout to the Debbie Harry avatar. She's a living goddess and you have good taste, my man.
Could you guys maybe give us people who don't play online a challenge for the Hoth skins in arcade mode?
