Uhhh.

That's vague.

Don't wanna sound rude but you look frustrated.

Jay has been writing a lot of CTs lately for May, I've been doing stuff for June.

The droid? Who knows, probably sulking around a cargo hold somewhere.

Still a WIP, was talking to Guillaume today about it. Nothing definite yet, but remains something we are actively discussing.

We will be getting it increased, likely to 1min 40sec (ish). Used to be 2 minutes.

Apologies, but when does the event end? It would be fantastic to get this changed as quick as possible, as its had a drastic effect in the wrong direction.

Monday morning EU.

Hey thank you for being willing to try some things to make the mode more enjoyable. What is the feasibility of having the reactors take damage like the generators on Crait? I think the ship phase would be so much more interesting if you had to damage it instead of planting a bomb

I’m not a game designer, so I can’t say I know the answer to that (nor is it my area of expertise), but I imagine there was a good reason we didn’t go that route. We’ll keep tweaking and adjusting things until it’s as fun as it can be, though.

We can't talk bans publicly, please contact the email address you would have been given.

It was shortened as a test for this weekend and will go back to normal on Monday, but I've let the team know that this is probably too short.

Edit: Following up on this, it won't be changed for this weekend but will end with the end of the event.

Was the team really not aware of this? It's been brought up since the beta. It's already been solved in Battlefield games, and is immediately apparent when you play the game.

It's been on our radar, I'm just resurfacing it.

So you are telling me the team isnt aware of this when people have been complaining about this since launch? Are you telling me that the team which has suppsupposedly played this game hasnt noticed this?

I guess that kinda shows how incompetent DICE are now. Old DICE is so f**king dead

No.

Will look at it. Thanks. :-)

We'll be keeping an eye on this throughout the weekend and looking at everyone's feedback.

It is a server side change so we can pull levers as we want and make adjustments in between big content updates.

This will be changed in a future update, we just made the change now in our version of the game. Might not make it into the May update though.

I've raised this to the team. Thanks!

Any possibility the preorder skins for Kylo Ren and Rey could be made available for everyone now that the game has been out a while?

I believe there are restrictions around this sort of thing, so I wouldn't count it as likely.

In that spirit, can we please have a straightforward answer about EOR credit gain for CS? Why is it seemingly capped at 375 even if you're first place in all categories at the end and play for 45 minutes? I want to believe its just a bug that's being addressed in a hotfix soon, but a lot of people have been asking and there's just been silence, so I'm wondering now if its a subtle and intentional change to credit gain to force a greater reliance on MTX instead. It's made me completely stop playing CS in favor of GA. I just want an actual response about this more than anything, been asking since CS first dropped.

It's not capped at 375. The cap used to be closer to 1k but I believe we raised that. However, CS gives credits differently than something like GA due to how each mode handles objectives. We're looking into ways of improving credit gain and have a few ideas.

What kind of tweaks? Increased amount of Reinforcements needed to capture on Ground Phase? Faster detonation of bombs on Ship phase?

Counter when you gain points is slower, and bomb planting phase is shorter.

Hello there,

Just a quick heads up that due to the issues and downtime that the EA servers experienced over this past weekend we will be bringing back the Princess Leia appearance for a second chance of redemption.

If you missed out on the appearance then simply login this coming weekend and you'll be granted the appearance.

The second chance extension will run from Friday morning (Stockholm time) until Monday 6am (CEST).

We will also be making some minor tweaks to Capital Supremacy. These tweaks will be based around the phase timings, resulting in the ground phase being slightly longer and the capital ship phase slightly shorter.

Tomorrow (Friday 10th), at 00:01 CEST these tweaks to Capital Supremacy will be live. We'll be monitoring the feedback on this, so please do let us know how you find the changes.

While this is my personal opinion on what would be the best location for me and personally I do hope we see that in a Star Wars game one day, this comment isn't me stating that it is happening for Star Wars Battlefront II. We inevitably discuss a lot of topics in the Discord channel and one of them was on the subject of maps and locations we'd like to see. This is part of that discussion. I wouldn't want to set peoples expectations and for that not to come to fruition, so, please maintain expectations folks!
