Greetings, exalted ones,

As you all are well aware, EA Play and E3 are just around the corner. As such, we wanted to make you aware that EA has once again invited us, the moderators, to attend EA Play on behalf of the /r/StarWarsBattlefront community! Three of us will be attending. /u/MetalMagic, /u/ScorchRaserik and /u/OnlyForF1

As with our attendance last year, one thing we want to make absolutely clear is that this is not in exchange for any kind of favor for the EA/DICE staff on the subreddit, or in the Discord. We were invited simply to represent the subreddit and the community at the event. Our first and only priority is making sure you guys have eyes, ears, and a voice at EA Play.


Now, last year we asked you guys what questions you wanted answered, but a couple of things make us hesitant to do that again this year:

1) F8RGE, Charlemagne, T0TALfps, and dozens of other devs that have popped up on the subreddit have done a great job at improving communication since last year. If you guys list questions you want asked in the comments, the devs can just pop in answer what they can here and now, instead of waiting until we can ask them in person.

2) Last year, the Q&A session we got with the devs wasn't 1-on-1, it was in a "round table" format with every single Battlefront GameChanger. There were a lot of people. Not everyone got to ask a question in the time that was allotted. If that happens again this year, we may only get a single question in, maybe two if we're lucky.

So, instead of just questions, if there's anything you want us to let the devs know while we're there, leave a comment below. Any concerns you have that you want to make sure the team is aware of, any specific question about the game development process, anything you want us to say to the team at all while we're at EA Play.

The caveat: it has to be something we can ask/say if we happen to run into them at the event. Just something we can say in passing, in less than a couple mins, and something they can answer in a format that isn't an official Q&A/interview. Bonus points if you can think of something that will be relevant during EA Play that they can't answer in the comments below.

So let us know! And let us know if any of you are gonna be at EA Play, as well, if you wanna say hi!

I'll be around EA Play to answer questions and hang out in general. Just let me know if you want to meet up.

I just wanted to thank the devs for their hard work and dedication, I hope all of you know you’ve made a ton of Star Wars fans happy. :)

Oh stop it you, without the passion and dedication of this here community, it would all be for nothing. If anything, we should be thanking you guys :)

I hear one of the biggest requests is Director Krennic ;)

Please do not encourage /u/F8RGE's use of Director Krennic GIFs even more than he already uses them now.

1) the Xbox servers need to be looked at it’s been impossible for me to play lately. 2) I would really enjoy more eras for capital supremacy and starfighters added to the game mode. 3) id rly love more weapons and star cards to be added so that we can have more variety in trooper gameplay.

We hear the comments from the community in regards to server issues, they are being looked at - nothing else to share at the moment, but the team are investigating.

Would love to know if the new roadmap is subject to more additions!

There are things being worked on that are not present on the roadmap. These things are often ever-changing and sometimes may never even come to fruition, however, once DICE are confident about the content or feature etc etc - they are usually locked into the roadmap. The roadmap is a living thing and is always subject to change.

Wants the community to have “a voice” at EA play, but doesn’t want any serious questions to have to ask the team...

Yeah ok

Ask us them serious questions, we're here and reading. Cannot always promise a response, but we are reading them.

Ask what made them decide the aesthetic style for this game. It had to represent all three eras, which definitely have a different style, which is why some people think that the last game looked better in some respects. This game went for a more realistic aesthetic, like the last planets and characters could be next door, while the last game had something about it that made it seem supernatural, or different, that made Star Wars really feel like a different universe, that I think they should have kept. As them why they made that decision.

I think your touching upon how the maps look and in how they are approaching realism, in which case this is something that DICE have actively been interested in for quite a few years.

What with photogrammetry and other bits of tech culminating in foliage, rocks and terrain all being photographed from real locations and used ingame. This existed in Battlefront I also, however with Battlefront II, Battlefield 1/V it's much more full on.

Please ask "are there any plans to actually fix the bugs in the game?"

The team are always working at fixing up issues that are being reported in the community, every update brings in a whole list of fixes.

Things won't ever be perfect, that just isn't possible with games as things always change but if you feel there are things that are flying under the radar, feel free to send me a message and I'll do my best to send them through on our reports.
