Do we get any reference to a crashed speeder? It would be a throwaway line for people outside the community.

The update was almost called "Crashed Speeder Update". I do love that we were able to go full prequel meme for the name though.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Full details in the release notes, but is based around those who need certain abilities to gain HoK.

Probably the least important part of this post but does anyone know how to change your UI to have the Republic and CIS upvote and downvote icons as seen in the post's picture?

I get that on "old Reddit"

Remember when you could spawn on command posts? Seems like F8rge forgot (Edit: lol salty EA defenders, they still haven’t given me a reason to reinstall without new weapons or command post spawning).

We haven't forgot. Is still something we're looking at.

To be fair one is cannon while the other is not.

We're not "canon" either. We always try to use the word authentic where possible. We're an authentic Star Wars video game experience.

Not for this month, but we do have changes to some HoK cards.

From my side I think we've added a bit more than that. Maps, modes, heroes, appearances, QoL changes and game features. QoL is a huge part to any game that lives in a post lauch world, has been a fair amount of that too.

Had to read through some of our old Transmissions, but general breakdown is as follows.

  • New location: Crait
  • New hero: Finn
  • New hero: Phasma
  • New Progression system
  • New mode: Ewok Hunt
  • 8 new hero appearances
  • Forty new trooper appearances
  • New mode: Hero Showdown
  • Starfighter Custom Arcade
  • New location: Jabba's Palace
  • Leia Legendary Appearance
  • Lando Epic Appearance
  • Menu QoL Changes
  • New menu visual style
  • New milestones for troopers, hero and specials
  • New location: Kessel
  • New mode: Extraction
  • Two legendary appearances for Han
  • Two legendary appearances for Lando
  • Chewbacca epic appear...

Destiny 2 and NMS both will have had better comebacks by the end of this year imo.

Sure, new content is great. But can they actually fix their game and make sure it works? Now that would be a comeback.

All the new content in the world doesn’t mean a thing to me if they can’t make their game work well.

Both games have done great. I think you can look at Ubisoft at some of their post launch support as being great as well.

This is a great comeback story.

SMH.

Edit: the selfishness in this sub is off the chart and a testament to its age bracket.

We're part of that crowd too. We tend to not overly label ourselves, instead we just go with "Star Wars fans"

Why do they get summer breaks? There are people who do far harder jobs and they get no break at all. Usually not even for special occasions like Christmas.

Because we are actual human beings as well, plus it's a cultural thing in Sweden. To spend time actually living life and not being a slave to work. Work to live, not live to work.

We will not crunch and burn the team out just to deliver some content, it's not worth it. The negative effects would be felt far longer than just through July as well. We'll be back in August with more content and update on what else you can expect through 2019.

Everyone deserves a break from work, regardless of their profession.

Because games today are much more complex than games back then. Didn't the older games (memory is fading) share animations between heroes? If we did that we'd get crucified.

The game released in 2017, with a good amount of content. You might not agree with the content or would have wanted more, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.

Delaying a AAA game two years would cost millions, multiple of them. Whether we like to discuss this side of gaming or not, but there is a business behind it all. People need to get paid, they need to eat have shelter etc

Front end lighting always looks a little different to environmental lighting.
