That's fair enough, but do you know yet if it can be fixed? If not I'd rather hear it straight.

I can go back 3 months and there's a comment from Ben acknowledging the issue, talking about diagnostic tests, and then nothing changes or is openly talked about until a post like this one raises the issue again. Of course, each time it receives the generic 'being worked on' response.

It is incredibly frustrating when it's such a major issue.

I’m optimistic that it’ll be resolved. So are those working on it. Sorry that I don’t have anything more to share. I wish I did.

The first Battlefront (2015) did this

To be fair, that title also had about a third of the content to deal with. We’re pushing things fairly far.

Not everything that works on PCs works on all platforms without issue.

I personally think we deserve a little better than that. It's not like this is a new issue that's just arisen, It's something that has apparently been 'worked on' for months now.

Myself and many others are starting to feel that any fix is highly unlikely, and that comments like this are an attempt to brush it under the rug.

It's very disappointing to hear that at some point in the future, the game may or may not be fixed for those on Xbox.

If this was something we didn't plan on fixing are weren't able to, we'd say so or otherwise not talk about it as much as we do.

When can we expect a fix to this and the servers? (Please don't give a vague response, the more you do the more frustrated we as a community become)

You can expect a fix in the future, but I'm going to keep it vague for when since it's still being worked on. No point in frustrating people even more by setting false expectations for something that we don't know for certain yet.

We're aware of this affecting both platforms. It's part of our investigation.

u/ea_charlemagne what's going on about this?

It's actively being worked 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.

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.

Rey: For some reason, she still has the lowest HOK out of every hero. While Leia has 100 at the lowest and Anakin has 120 at the highest, Rey has a pitiful 60. It should be at least bumped up to 100, if not 110.

Luke: His repusle animation is faster now, but the damage still needs to be tweaked. It's base, without cards, should at least be able to kill all normal infanty except the heavy.

Dooku: Extend the range of his lightning.

Obi-Wan: Allow him to run faster when using defensive rush.

I can confirm that Rey's HoK is going up to 100 in the not so distant future.

Health on kill should be passive- and universal for all heroes. Chewbacca is horrible in GA in my opinion due to his HoK card being attached to his charge slam ability.

We can cross this off the list as being something we know you want, we want it, and it is being worked on.

It’s time for another Focused Feedback thread! This time, we want to talk about heroes and villains. We’re open to hearing any feedback you have on all heroes. Below, we have some starter topics should you want something to jump off of.

Obi-Wan Kenobi against General Grievous on Geonosis.

  • If Health on Kill becomes a default, should it be universal for every elimination or should some hero abilities not grant it? If the latter, which ones?
  • Should Yoda’s Presence block explosive damage?
  • How would you like to see some of your favourite heroes and villains evolve?
  • Who is your top hero and villain you want to see added to the game?
  • Which Star Cards are good? Which ne...

I really don't want to deal in hype, teasing, or anything like that. Actions first, see you in a week.

Also Ben in the podcast “I’m looking forward to June - that’s..literally all I am saying. June will be a good month for Star Wars (talking about BF2) the game keeps going; can’t stop, won’t stop.”

Yes, you can look forward to it, you should look forward to it but let's not go too overboard is what I am saying.

I'm going to temper expectations here. It's a good CT, but I've also written a lot of CTs that were quite long in the past.

We have some great stuff to talk about, June will be good but please don't let your expectations run absolutely wild. We know you're excited, we're excited.

I just don't want people to be coming back with "But you promised..." or "I wanted...."

I really don't want to deal in hype, teasing, or anything like that. Actions first, see you in a week.

As always, no hype, only actions.

Yeah ok

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

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.
