Two plus two...plus one...plus...
Hey everyone,
There’s been a lot of discussion lately surrounding hero balance so we thought we’d look to gather everyone’s thoughts, feedback and ideas in one place.
These types of threads have been incredibly useful in the past and as always we know you’ll deliver a ton of feedback.
Q) If you could buff any one light side hero, who would it be?
Q) If you could buff any one dark side hero, who would it be?
Q) What other changes would you personally make to hero balance?
To save some time, we are looking at making some additional Anakin changes, those will be coming in the future.
Look forward to reading your thoughts!

Jk love ya jay
I mean...we want to go above a 1k limit. Do you want me to cite you as the reason we don't? Haha!
That game holds some of my fondest gaming memories. It was a wonderful game and a joy to play, but yeah, it's over a decade old. It was really good for the time, but just that: For the time. Gaming has evolved a lot since then, but I'm glad to have it as something that inspires us to this day.
Quick question why is 960 the cap and not 1000, that just hurts
It's probably some completely arbitrary reason, something to do with how the overall programming groups things, or even something based on a calculation.
Oh, that "Amy" is going to annoy him so much.
The sigh I released when I saw it...it was a painful moment.
Thanks!
That's a little confusing, so like is it gonna be combined with Unleash or will you be able to switch between them?
When a blaster bolt comes in, the current block is used. When fighting in lightsaber combat, the new one will take over. TBD, though. It's still in flux.
I get 960
960 is the built in cap. Tentatively, we're looking at lifting the cap for CS to prevent that (maybe removing it).
How will yoda's block work? I hope you keep his current one still, as i really like how it looks and works now.
also, i hope you make sure the jetpack changes don't make it less fun to use just for balancing. last game, it felt too slow and limited, and it's much better now.
Current block is staying but he'll also be able to use his lightsaber against other lightsabers to my knowledge.
What do you mean by functionality on Boba’s jetpack? Are you looking at improving how responsive it is or changing the way it works?
This one is still in early development, so nothing I can share on it at this time (I actually genuinely don't know what they're cooking up there).

All of these are subject to change, but I wanted to collect them in one place for you all.
We agree. We're looking at changing this so that you can earn more due to just how long some CS matches can go. I do hope that credits will do fine.
There was a skin wishlist thread that YOU and Dennis requested a whole year ago. It baffles me that it is still unclear for you guys what we want.
Don't get me wrong, we know what people want. But this is about having a conversation. Maybe /u/flyingfree1 was't around back then, or didn't post in it, or he's changed his mind.
It's ok to ask questions and have a conversation.
You can have as much TCW content as you want, just give me ANH Luke skin and I'll be happy.
Which one?
Oh, that "Amy" is going to annoy him so much.
/u/EA_Charlemagne, please, the next time someone reads the patch notes and criticizes DICE's minor changes, dont respond with an excuse of not wanting to overstep with balancing changes or about how the community isn't always right. The community has been pretty consistent regarding what changes need to come to Anakin. Now, you can see that DICE's changes were meaningless. So, this time, pass on the community feedback that Anakin needs a much more significant nerf, preferably to his health and lightsaber damage stats and to Passionate Strike. Try reducing his health to 900 max, lightsaber damage to 140 max, and try removing the knock down from Passionate Strike. Please pass on that suggestion. At this point, it's worth trying.
Use my knowledge. I beg you.
I said before, there’s only so much we can do and are willing to risk in a hotfix. There will still be further hero balancing passes. The comments you’re quoting are only part of what I said. There are people in the community who want us to leave Anakin as is, revert the nerf, pull him out of the game, etc. My comment to that was that “the community” doesn’t just have one opinion on this. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
u/EA_Charlemagne: Is this hotfix effective immediately or is there a street date for it to launch? I've scoured this thread but couldn't find the info. Thanks for your time.
Went live a few hours ago!
You're definitely right that we don't always know what we want. Anyone remember how some people were saying "era lock the heroes in GA"? When they tried it it didn't go so well
Ultimately, it's not the community's responsibility to know exactly what you want. It's on us as game developers so figure out what's best for everyone and trust in that choice (with some experimentation here and there).
What limitation is preventing Grievous from having a cape? Other heroes have them.
Multiple limbs clipping through it. That's why he doesn't fight with it during TCW or III.
