January Community Calendar

It's the start of a brand new year and with it marks the arrival of a new Community Calendar, this month features the final stages of our ongoing "14 Days of Triple XP" event. This month also features the return of the Night Ops community event, where all modes will feature a "Dark Mode" map rotation along with Assault modes receiving Fast Spawn rules.

We'll be back during the latter half of this month with a Community Transmission covering what to expect with the arrival of the brand new astromech heroes, BB-8 and BB-9E and without further ado, here are your community events for the month of January;

Shouldn’t we get an extra two days of 3XP considering that two of our 14 days were actually only double XP?

Since most of the team are still on vacation this isn't something we've got planned right now, but I will make the suggestion that we have a triple XP event at some point to make up for it once they are all back!

is there a suggestion box for suggestions somewhere where DICE and EA can read?

We tend to have eyes on almost every platform you can imagine, so here is just fine, also our Community Forums, Discord, Answers HQ, even Twitter etc.

A question. Does the Night Ops event mean that you’re adding new night maps to the game? Or is the event only allowing us to play on the maps that already have a night variant? If you’re adding new night maps, can we expect them to stay in the game even after the event? Thank you.

This event is very similar to the one we had done around October time of last year, no intention to introduce new night maps at the moment.

Does this mean the update has been delayed?

While sometimes in the past we have added the updates to the calendar, the calendar is usually for community events - not to indicate updates.

Update hasn't been delayed and as indicated in the original thread - we've got a Community Transmission on the way during the latter half of the month which will detail the astromechs a little more with expected abilities etc. Usually, that sort of CT takes place ahead of an update :)

So can we have a time span when bb8 and bb8e are planned to come into the game?

The latter half of the month, after the Community Transmission detailing astromechs.

has it really been 14 days of 3xp? I seem to keep going back and fourth getting 2xp and 3xp all this past week.

Double XP happens by default, every Wednesday - this, unfortunately, had a conflict with the ongoing 14 Days of Triple XP event every time a Wednesday came around. I'll be making the suggestion to have a Triple XP event at some point in the coming months.

This is such awesome support for a very well made game. This game had so much potential when it released and I’m so happy it lived up to it. I see a lot of people always begging for more content but I’d just like to say to the devs you’ve done an amazing job and earned some time off. I played the original battlefronts religiously as a kid- if I had been able to see gameplay of this game at its current state back then I would be astounded. Thank you for listening to the community, I hope this sets a new standard for game developers.

Glad you're having fun, Happy New Year to you!!

Can you pass along a dev request...

  • Please give players a map time of day option in IA, in order to set up their own night ops.

Good suggestion, will pass it along!
