Yes, we are always sharing the best memes you make. Some of them even get printed out and put on our meme wall.

Agreed. This wins the inaugural "F8's best Sithpost" award, for the week.

Our audio team aren't happy with the current execution either. Expect these lines to be updated (quite a lengthy process though).

Ok I gotta say it, you're on fire man, the other great thing that has happened to this community after u/F8RGE is you man, you're always answering our questions even when you cannot talk about it, that's awesome very much appreciated. In my eyes you're a CW heroe haha if you don't mind me saying, lol.

Haha, I really appreciate that! I want to be as transparent as possible...even if F8RGE is holding me back from being a Jedi Knight.

Oh right, that makes sense. In that case, might a timer of around 5 seconds be considered? Probably just me being impatient, but I feel like a 10 second timer can be too long at times.

As in, in general a five second timer? Not sure, but I can raise it with the team. After SPS, you should see how interested other players are with that by making a thread.

I get this but DICE can do it, you did it in the last game with Walker assault, and honestly we will be happy with just a supremacy in the current large maps, it's not as complicated as GA.

Also some shooters have PVE and even on all modes, like CoD. And you guys have even made combined arms for Battlefield V Wich BTW is better than people say it is, you're right on the BF V fans they don't appreciate PVE but I do, and I like the mode so give DICE my thanks for it , and I'm not the only one is just that PVE fans are more silent than PVP fans

Totally. I more so meant the audience size for PvE between titles.

Is creating hero AI a lot harder then infantry AI? I’d reckon it’s the same thing but I don’t know anything about this, just curious.

In general, most likely. Part of programming requires you to pick when and where an ability would be used (i.e. in this situation, use this ability; if X condition is met do Y, etc.). If we made them like troopers where they don’t use most abilities, then that’s easier, but I don’t think that’s what players want. Again, not impossible, just time consuming and why it’s not something we’re currently talking about doing.

How so in your opinion, can I ask? There was a time where fast spawn was enabled for a whole weekend and I can't say that I noticed anything particularly different in the balance of GA.

Matches end a lot faster since people and spawning (and thus dying) quicker and that means the side with kill tickets is disadvantaged.

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have ONE normal weekend without any gimmicks?

When we made a call for feedback about what events people would like to see happen within April, the requests were quite varied and a "normal weekend" was amongst them.

We hear that sort of feedback, we were looking at options for the Star Wars Celebration Weekend (12th/14th) but decided it is best to have it as an open weekend with just double XP. I don't see that as a gimmick, but rather an incentive for those that are just jumping into the game - and well, it's fairly normal for those that have been playing for some time too.

I'd say this calendar overall is possibly the least chaotic it has been, and last month we had a lot of XP events too.

This is just me ensuring that we keep things upto date for when/if we do begin our Live Community Transmissions project. We haven't explicitly stated that we won't do them, just that there needs to be a clear reason to do them (and not just for the sake of doing it)

Appreciate the patience, and that vigilance on catching the update too :)

Good bot.

We know the other eras exist.

We asked the community what events they'd like to see this month, Jetpack Cargo and Heroes Unleashed.

We tried to make them happen for this month but we ran into a few issues. Jetpack Cargo would require a client update which needs more planning in order to happen. HU would be really aggravating with the issues we've got going on with one hero in particular.

We're aware of the requests for these two though, we'll try get them active once again in the future.

Friends, your warmth has been helping. It's a privilege that we have such a community as you, thank you.

If you haven't seen already, your Community Calendar has also arrived.
