Can I ask why Galaxy of Heroes (another EA owned game) can get away with all of Disney's "non-canon" stuff from the games and books but when it comes to you guys, you're unable to? It just seems immensely silly because I remember like with Charlemagne for instance, he mentioned there isn't enough "canon" things for commandos back in the past which is an example of something that shouldn't matter when half of the maps and modes (heroes vs villians) are technically not abiding 1 to 1 by the "canon" at all like rebellion wookies fighting with clones or droids using first order weapons.

If it's authentic we can add it. We are not 100% restricted by canon, but it must remain authentic to Star Wars.

Here's my suggestion.

Why not have the list of changes appear as soon as you log in like how the game tells you when an event is active.

This does happen, or at least it should.

They could add a link to the CT or the Community Update video on the top right box of the home screen.

The CT was linked on the front end for the last week.

That's very reasonable. Thank you for addressing my curiosity.

No problem. Hope the rest of your weekend is great.

We could say we have 40 or we could say we have 200, but the day to day goings on within development is still a mystery to most so the numbers would serve little purpose other than to be YouTube title clickbait or similar.

The funniest thing about these comments is that Kinder surprise eggs are banned in America. It's illegal to import them into the country and you can receive hefty fines for attempting to do so.

The reason for the ban is because they're harmful to children.

Fun story, I once had some confiscated out of my bag while heading to E3.

What about potentially rolling it into a playlist with Strike, Extraction, and Ewok Hunt? Might help boost the numbers for the game modes if they’re more condensed.

It's something like this that we might consider.

Apologies for the slight derailment, but how much leeway does BF2 have when it comes to canon? Is the game permitted to, say, create new designs which, while authentic, hadn’t appeared before?

Grievous Legendary Appearance is a good indicator. We can do new stuff, as long as it remains authentic to Star Wars.

Is it possible that we could have a toggle switch for the points at some time? Me and my friends like the classic rounded one.

Not something I think we'll be doing, sorry.

Can you make it so when you load up the game, the text that you see says "New update: Crashed Speeders, TX-130, New Appearances"? we need some reference in the game...

or make clones shout "Droidekas! let's turn them into enviromental clutter!"

"Droidekas! let's turn them into environmental clutter!"

The next time we do VO recording I'm slipping this into the list

you missed the STAP, BARC speeeder and AT-TE, and Bespin, and D'qar SA in the part where you break it down into different sections. Could you please edit them in? i want to be able to link to your comment when someone asks what was added since launch.

As you wish

Maybe in the future. It wasn't that well liked or played as much as our other modes.

While we are more than 10, it has been a saying that gets branded around from time to time.
