Great shot, (kid. Don't get c*cky), but please avoid using our official watermarks. I don't want people to think these are official screenshots and I don't want our legal team to get nervous over players making fake official images. You deserve credit for your work, not us, after all.

Is it possible to add things only to PC or vice-versa? Or have it to be toggleable?

From a technical standpoint, yes, but I'm not sure we'd want to add something just to PC. That's unfair to console players and it also means less than a third of our player-base (not even counting those who have lower settings on PC) would be able to enjoy it, so it wouldn't be the best use of dev time. We'd rather make things everyone can enjoy when possible.

I can certainly bring it up. As I'm sure most know, there are these effects in BII, just at a reduced rate or tied to specific abilities. Part of it is that adding additional VFX makes the game more intensive on hardware, but I'm not the right person to say whether or not it's feasible while maintaining good performance.

We need them offline to fix their levels. But also more importantly, get some rest. 24hrs of anything isn't healthy.

Yes, it's there for when we inevitably go down the route of Roger, Roger.

Great job. Maybe we should do a video contest at some point.

Haha, don't worry. "I'm seriously not serious."

Wait, so you didn't uninstall? Banning you.

So, it's effective against the armor, not just the shield?

It's very effective against their shields, to be clear, but I believe it also bypasses their shields to some degree and deals damage to them.

u/Petervesti any update on this?

I don't really know but I can ask tomorrow. Gameplay wise it has been ready to go for a long time. Sorry I haven't been on the team since Geonosis so I am a bit out of the loop.

What's the HP on their shield? This is pretty important to know.

Also will they be available in modes like blast/strike.

To my knowledge, they'll be available in any mode that has reinforcements. As for their shield strength, I'm not sure. I think it's still being finalized.

Cant use ion shot as lando. These droidekas will easily destroy blaster heroes smh. Also will saber users be able to strike them while the shield is up or no

Lightsabers will be able to go through the shields since we found they were too strong without that. Blaster Heroes can shoot from afar, but at the same time, I think it's good to have units that counter other units well, including countering heroes.

Comment

Something I added in a reply to someone: Ion weaponry is very effective against their shields. I highly recommend it.

So what's that about "This is what the community wants...?"

This sub in no way speaks for the community of this game. It's the very vocal minority. Mainly college kids with nothing better to do with their time. Its no wonder every poll comes back in the PT's favor, almost all OT wishlists are laughed at and their posters told to go play BF2015, and many many other issues.

The hubris on display here is baffling at times.

We have a pretty good grasp on what people want. We don't just read Reddit and decide to do things based on this sub alone.

If someone won't accept you at level 50, they don't deserve you at level 500.

Hey everyone,

Want to drop you all a note regarding the inflated experience that some players experienced after the update that brought Kamino into Capital Supremacy, back in May. We have been working on a solution to this and are now ready to begin rolling it out, something we plan to do over the next few days.

If a player had a jump in their class rank after the May 22nd update, they’ll notice their class ranks decrease when they next log in. Any player affected by this will not lose progress that they’ve made since May 22nd. For example, if you were capped at class rank 70 before the update but jumped to rank 800 when the update was deployed and have since progressed to rank 810, your class rank will decrease to 80.

These changes are expected to begin rolling out over the next few days and will be done per player. This means that if you have two players with inflated exp levels, one of them may get changed before the other.

Thanks everyone for you...
