In that spirit, can we please have a straightforward answer about EOR credit gain for CS? Why is it seemingly capped at 375 even if you're first place in all categories at the end and play for 45 minutes? I want to believe its just a bug that's being addressed in a hotfix soon, but a lot of people have been asking and there's just been silence, so I'm wondering now if its a subtle and intentional change to credit gain to force a greater reliance on MTX instead. It's made me completely stop playing CS in favor of GA. I just want an actual response about this more than anything, been asking since CS first dropped.

It's not capped at 375. The cap used to be closer to 1k but I believe we raised that. However, CS gives credits differently than something like GA due to how each mode handles objectives. We're looking into ways of improving credit gain and have a few ideas.

What kind of tweaks? Increased amount of Reinforcements needed to capture on Ground Phase? Faster detonation of bombs on Ship phase?

Counter when you gain points is slower, and bomb planting phase is shorter.

Hello there,

Just a quick heads up that due to the issues and downtime that the EA servers experienced over this past weekend we will be bringing back the Princess Leia appearance for a second chance of redemption.

If you missed out on the appearance then simply login this coming weekend and you'll be granted the appearance.

The second chance extension will run from Friday morning (Stockholm time) until Monday 6am (CEST).

We will also be making some minor tweaks to Capital Supremacy. These tweaks will be based around the phase timings, resulting in the ground phase being slightly longer and the capital ship phase slightly shorter.

Tomorrow (Friday 10th), at 00:01 CEST these tweaks to Capital Supremacy will be live. We'll be monitoring the feedback on this, so please do let us know how you find the changes.

While this is my personal opinion on what would be the best location for me and personally I do hope we see that in a Star Wars game one day, this comment isn't me stating that it is happening for Star Wars Battlefront II. We inevitably discuss a lot of topics in the Discord channel and one of them was on the subject of maps and locations we'd like to see. This is part of that discussion. I wouldn't want to set peoples expectations and for that not to come to fruition, so, please maintain expectations folks!

They actually have names, just not called out in the game.

I don’t completely understand why that isn’t a quick and easy fix but I mean I guess you really wouldn’t have anything to gain by lying so I’ll have to take your word for it.

I appreciate the trust. Lying is the last thing we’d ever want to do. I’d pick being transparent (even if it means not having an ideal answer) over lying any day.

I’m sorry that I just simply don’t believe this. You can adjust the Battlepoints from the server side without forcing us to download an update for special events, heck you even did it out of the blue for Anakin and ONLY Anakin last week.

How can this be? You were clearly able to adjust the cost of him alone so even if it is flagging him as “in era” when he isn’t you still have the ability to set his individual cost to whatever you want.

Per my other reply: It’s how the backend system records it. It’s either “era” or “non-era” for the flag. Hope that clears things up, but we are working to fix it.

Why not temporarily fix it by tripling his BP cost in the OT era so it’s 12k as intense?

A bug that apparently needs to be worked on for months now but took a half a month to increase his Bp the other day

When his BP was increased, it was still equal to PT in OT.

It's due to a bug that we're working to fix where it flags him as era rather than non-era in the OT.

I like how he's upset now, but a month ago this was literally the entirety of Dice, ignoring how broken Anakin is.

We've been making tweaks to Anakin for a while, not ignoring.

It's good but I think his single greatest tweet was the "Plot twist, dipshit!" tweet. lol.

EDIT: Spelling

I definitely like a good plot twist.

Wait so what about the actual ability will change (also please reduce the amount of time HM can charge for, it’ll make the ability a little bit skillful)

You'll have time to avoid it since you'll know when he starts to use it.

Screen FPS (htz/refresh rate) is separate from animation FPS. It's pretty confusing to be honest so I'll see if we can make this clearer in the future. The short of it is that the animation fps and screen fps are separate measurements from one another. If you’d like, you can think about it this way: if it’s standardized to 60fps and you're playing at 30, it's 2.5 fps; if you're at 120, it's 10.

Animations are created at specific framerates a lot of the time. It won't have an effect on performance.

A lot of thoughts here, but from my side:

If someone takes a screenshot and someone else uses that screenshot, it is considered polite to give them credit. It's not about ownership, but just common courtesy.

It's the same if someone uploads gameplay footage, you don't just rip it and use it yourself.

Hey Everyone,

We have a small patch arriving tomorrow, on Wednesday, May 8th. This patch will primarily be focused around some changes we are making to Anakin Skywalker but will also include a couple of fixes for other heroes.

We have made several balance changes to Anakin’s abilities, including increasing the cooldown of his Heroic Might ability by 4 seconds and reducing the health increase from his Tenacious Star Card by 50%.

In addition to these changes we have lowered his lightsaber damage from 140 to 130 and also reduced the damage bonus from his Massive Strikes Star Card from 10-15-20-25 to 5-10-15-20.

We have seen some discussion on an i...
