I don’t see how the punishing of players for abusing a product by negatively impacting the integrity of the experience for others, makes it “illegal” to discuss.

I can maybe understand anonymity for sake of defending their identity from public scrutiny, but in terms of discussing what steps you are taking, “illegal” doesn’t sit right.

Just give us something to work with, or at least read about so maybe we can understand better.

But if we talk about what we are doing, that gives those making cheat software a leg up. It's a no win situation for us.

Im sorry man i think your great but that just sounds like some PR bullshit i love battlefront 2 but you guys cant keep letting this happen. i just cant wrap my head around you guys not updating your anti-cheat because of legal issues im sure you know that sounds absurd. And keep in mind all DICE games have this issue on PC its not just Battlefront. This kinda shit should not be allowed to happen. More specificaly to players like me that have stuck with yall since the beginning. You guys ban players for changing blaster bolt colors but not players who modify damage output settings? what the f**k is up with that shit? If the subreddit didnt have the mods take down these types of posts you guys would've never of acknowledged it.

We do acknowledge it. For some grounding, we have the lowest cheat reporting rate of any EA title, and when I say low it is very low. We are working on stuff, we do ban people. We made changes recently and that report rate dropped over 30%, so things are happening.

We will not talk about what we are doing though, because that then gives people a heads up.

Nope, it's a legal thing. Simple as that, frustrating I know - as frustrating for me as well.

This will probably not get you very far. As before, unfortunately I am not allowed to comment on cheats publicly. These are legal stipulations that I simply cannot break or even bend.

I think it's just hinting at ARC trooper skins in general. Doubt they'd do character skins.

We're not doing character specific appearances.

I can see that you still have that “Submit your Creations & Captures” post over on the BF2 Forums.

When do you think we’ll be able to see the updated wall of Battlefront captures by the community? I really wanna see it. There are some pretty good captures on that post and on your wall. :)

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, you should really check it out:

https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/148466/submit-your-creations-captures#latest

Edit: also, happy birthday OP. :D

Not something i'm intending to do for another few weeks, those posters take a fair bit of time to go through and select the best creations/captures. Reinforcements poster will definitely be next, maybe in time for Christmas.

Best modes to play:

  • Co-op to level up classes, weapons, reinforcements, heroes, armor and more (it counts)
  • Hero Showdown gives you a lot of credits.
  • Galactic Assault and Capital Supremacy are good to play if you want to play mixed warfare or just want to have a lot of fun.

Best trooper class depends on your play style:

  • Assault is all around good (but has little high points except the weapons)
  • Heavy is good if you don't want to die every 20 seconds because of the health and the shield.
  • Officer is great if you want to get the heroes before everyone else, or are playing object objectives (uplink, turbo-lasers, override door control, etc) because of the squad shield.
  • Specialist is just a class that is annoying to play until you unlock the last 2 snipers.

Best weapons and troopers:

  • Assault is the easiest to get good weapo...

Thank you for doing the good work, brother.

My guess is : Lucasfilm asked them to.

Nope. For what it's worth we're really good friends with Lucasfilm, they give us tons of support and we have a great partnership with them.

EDIT: That came out snarkier than intended.

Nope, the update is proceeding exactly as forseen.

That's a shame, I was excited for the new reinforcements that we were expecting to get this month. But I guess it makes sense that you're pushing them back, maybe to polish them out, or something.

Edit: confirmed to not be fallen order, so i removed that part of the comment. And it's still weird that they'd mention the reinforcements separately to the ones we're getting with TROS update, on 2 separate occasions (both the big CT, and the roadmap listed them as separate to the TROS update, while listing the new map and stuff as part of that update), so I'm now just confused, as it could still be OT ones still coming in december either before or alongside TROS ones, or it could be just TROS ones.

Where did the reinforcements in November come from? Our roadmap has always said within Oct - Nov -Dec. Reinforcements are coming in December, we can't talk about them yet for...reasons
