Noticed last night that their eyes glow. Spooky shit.

Their eyes glow when you shine the flashlight on them. That also spots them on the minimap for a brief time.

Gives you damage resistance, also spooky af

The horn also gives you damage buff, and in general don´t forget that backstabs hurt more :)

I only work with dialogue in the game so I can't answer that i'm afraid.

You are under the assumption that Felucia was made in a month. As for Crait, it's more about doing that at the expense of something else.

u/F8RGE, is this something to be considered? Is it possible to make this or would it take a lot of time to make? The maps are already there so I'd say it would be as much work but I'm probably underestimating it.

If it was a quick thing, it probably would already be there.

Just curious, how do you make new content for the movie then? How much does Lucasfilm show you?

Hello there

Just a quick status update on a few things that we've seen discussed over the last 24 hours.

Crashes on PS4 and Xbox One

We are aware of this and are currently working to resolve. This is one of our biggest priorities at the moment. Work has already been underway for many hours now into looking for a cause and potential fix and we feel we have some strong leads. As soon as we have more information we'll be letting you know. Rest assured, we want to fix this as soon as we can.

Clone Commando Battle Point Cost

This has been reverted to its post update status of 2,000. This change was conducted via a server tweak and is currently live in the game.

Co-Op Starting

We have made a change which will allow Co-Op games to start with 2 players. This was made at the same time as the Clone Commando above, and is already live.

We'll keep you posted as more develops. Than...

No, we have not seen the movie. We'll see it the same time as everyone else. We'll be going as a team to watch it.

Wait you are working on new stuff for the campaign, or in general?

We have no plans to do anything for the campaign.

Are these the AutoBois that were following you? Some of them will specifically set out to follow you etc

(We're discussing it, and just asking questions)

Is some sort of hot-fix/mini-update planned to fix the crashing/CO-OP issues? It'd be ridiculous if we had to wait an entire month.

We're looking into what can be done.

u/f8rge the friendly bots don't play the objective as often as enemy bots, or so it seems. Would be nice if they got further tweaks to make them better

We'll keep tweaking AI. Any particular maps or modes you're seeing this behaviour on?

This makes me want to learn more about game development.

GDC Vault (free stuff) is a good place to start. Maybe Gamasutra articles. Plenty of resources out there. Good luck.

Not sure "everybody" wants it. That said, we are working on new stuff, focus now is on our The Rise of Skywalker content.

What about the constant game crashes? Any chance you guys will look into it? It's seems to be a common issue

Yes, we're working on it.

This has been flagged, we'll see what is happening. Sorry.

The sound is awesome too. This must be the “audio adjustments” they mentioned in the CT.

Still hoping eventually we get some voice lines for commandos

I hope that too, the reason the commando became the "strong silent type" is simply other prioritizations. As always, game development is a series of decisions and we often have to choose between multiple things to work on or add.

Will add this to the talking points
