The problem is that GA is the optimal gamemode for a lot of players. Quick games, full hero selection, smaller areas of play and most importantly, It's PURE pvp (no additional bots like in Supremacy). Sure, people want modes to escape the "full PvP experience", but Supremacy isn't really a "full PvP" experience and it feels a lot less competitive than GA.

We understand CS, Co-op and HvV are very popular. Nobody is saying they aren't and we wouldn't want those hidden away either. We just want GA to be one of the "main" gamemodes, even if it gets less content. As I and many have said, relatively smaller regions struggle a lot with the smaller gamemodes. I could queue up all day every day for Starfighter Assault in Australia and never find a game. Hiding GA, one of the biggest modes in Australia WILL hurt the playerbase numbers and make queues harder than they already are.

People aren't downvoting your comment because you said it in a certain way, people are downvoting...

...don't want it gone.

GA isn't going anywhere, we're still confident it'll be played and enjoyed by those that want to play it.

Appreciate this might not be what you want to hear, but there are currently no plans to revert any of the UI changes made in today's update.

Modes are placed together based on their in-game popularity, and Co-Op and Supremacy are our focus.

Poor comment from me above, chalk it up to getting caught up in amongst the update deployment. Apologies for that.

Some further insight on this and a few other things.

We are always looking at game mode popularity, and for this we primarily focus on our in-game telemetry. This allows us to see not only how many matches of a specific game mode are played but how many players are joining any specific mode. There are a whole host of things we can check telemetry for, and it's not always a case of "total number of players". It's things like what those players are doing once they play, how quick they quit out and various other elements.

It's no secret that some modes aren't as populated than others, this happens to all games, let alone those who have been live for 2+ years. We can take Ewok Hunt for example, it has a spike around Halloween but other than that it remains one of the low populated modes.

Supremacy, Co-Op and Heroes Vs Villains are our primar...

how about a server browser and this? show us you really base stuff on our feedback, you have continuously ignored requests for a server list, so im sorry but i have trouble believing you

Not ignored, just development time is being used elsewhere. No team can ever deliver absolutely everything, unfortunately.

Yeah DICE has a habit of not reverting things back to the way that a majority of the community wants.

Looking at you BFV

I don't think that's necessarily true. We reverted / changed an absolute ton of Clone Trooper appearances based on community feedback. Quite a lot of our changes are driven by what the community wants.

u/f8rge, look at this thread please. There’s still lots of love for GA, don’t do this.

Can you please, at the very least, remove CC immunity and damage reduction?

Vader was the best hero in the game beforehand, now he’s stupid OP

We're looking at making a change regarding damage reduction.

This CT has now overtaken the Clone Wars one (EA Play 2018) as the most upvoted.

He’s tricky like that. Something else that I noticed before Felucia released is that he often used the phrase “A lesson learned is a lesson earned”.

I knew it was one of the Clone Wars moral lines they show, but I didn’t know until rewatching recently that it was “Holocron Heist” which starts out on Felucia. It could have been just a coincidence or it could have been more hinting from him.

Obviously not everything is a hint (it’s a great and memorable line) and could just be stuff he likes, but I’d be curious to see if he lays out more hints in the future.

Who knows? Sometimes it's nice to operate in the grey.

This is indeed some sad news, but we shall remember him for his instrumental work during the production of the trilogy, as well as his many roles within Star Wars and ofcourse the much loved Bossk.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and fellow fans. I'll send through the suggestion that we rightfully pay tribute to him as we have done for the other great legends that are no longer with us.

May the force be with you all,

D'awww stop trying to make us blush.

We'll be watching. Roger, Roger.

I've got a feeling on what the majority theme of Sithpost Saturday is going to be... :P

Thanks for providing so much information but to clarify, co-op original trilogy/map and modes will only be out next month (february) and not on this update right?

Correct, this CT you're reading was scheduled to be released a few days ago along with the update, however an issue was found just before launch so it was pushed back into February (Monday).

If the CT is talking about content in February, that's different and separate to this BB Update. We'll be talking more about that once we've launched the astromechs!
