Hey sorry jay I didn’t mean to misinform people that the petition did it. I should have included the tweet you were responding to.

Haha, no worries. I think more people understood the joke than not. All good.

How unfortunate... that you are attempting to decieve me. You're only saying that to not have more of these reality-altering petitions with unlimited power. If not for the petition, i'm sure they would have all instead went to work at Domino's Pizza, like Pizza guy was planning before you recaptured him. /s

Please petition for me to get a raise.

Both. DICE is hiring, as they often are, but the petition didn’t actually lead to that. Hiring processes take time, including to put up job postings. This is also not just for SW or something. Just some friendly sarcasm.

Just in case...

This is not to say all 40 people are joining the Star Wars team at DICE. We have multiple projects as well as Frostbite etc

Trying pinging the mods here via the link on the sidebar.

Just to note, this is nothing to do with me, despite the similar sounding name. I have no mod privileges anywhere and play by the same rules as everyone.

We looked into multiple passengers for the AT-TE but encountered a few technical barriers that prevented it.

We actually shifted to tibanna gas. It's much safer for the environment.

The game goes on sale very often, so keep an eye out. It goes down to $5 sometimes.

Comment

Since you seem to be the authority on this, how many "resources" do we have devoted to BII?

u/EA_Charlemagne - Was it intentional or is this another mishap? The chronological rotation we had for the last few months was very popular and easy to learn. I would very much like to know why it was changed.

Let me find out.

We never want to make him useless, but we also want there to be less frustration (and the feeling that you have no chance no matter what) when facing him. He's still going to be strong when we're done with him, but balanced.

Oh I apologize. Didn't realize you had commented on it. Hard to keep track with how active you and Ben are these days on reddit

Edit: and I mean thst in a good way :)

That's definitely not the worst problem to have, haha! Better than the alternative.

Leaving bugs, even if players like them, only hinders us there.

If the playerbase likes them, then maybe those aspects should have their "bug status" removed. Yoda was better and more fun/unique to play before, it seems to be universally agreed upon. So maybe it's a change the team should consider reverting? I rather have the extra 100HP with presence and be able to break block rather than Yoda being able to block light sabers. This change was for the worse.

I wouldn't say it was universally liked, but I get your point. The bug also wasn't 100%, either. It usually happened, but not always. If we wanted to actually do it, it would be built as a feature, not relying on a bug. Think of it like lightsaber blocking. There was a rare bug that made it similar to what it is now. We removed the bug and rebuilt it as a feature. That's a much safer way to develop games because it gives us more control over balancing and such.

For perspective, no other dash attack breaks blocks.

Rey's Dash Strike would like to have a few words with you on that.

Yeah, my bad. I was thinking of Luke and Maul. Rey's was designed to knock down opponents and it's a little but different than a regular dash (a bit more like Obi-Wan's Defensive Rush). It's sort of like how Dooku's ability has the word "shock" in it but it's more of a push/throw. Rey's says "Dash" but it's more of a charge/rush/advance.

One of the main problems with Retribution is how its pretty much impossible to prepare for, as you have no idea when he has it up or not. A visual indicator would be nice, like replacing the player's name with RETRIBUTION, as it happens when, for example, they're flashed and it says CONCUSSED.

We've taken this feedback into account and are looking at what we can do.

I hate to bring this up because of conspiracy theories but there was a CT saying a while back that private matches were coming to HVV showdown,was swept under the rug when it didn't work and was never heard from again.

We've commented on this a number of times, but no worries. We ran into technical issues with the mode and put it on hiatus for now.
