Just to clear it up, it's new tech but wasn't done by SEED. Was done by us.

I want to assure you that we're not holding anything back. If the maps were ready for March, we would have released the mode with them. Holding back content would only hurt us. As soon as something is done, we ship it in the following update. This also isn't everything that's going to be on the roadmap, which is in part why we don't use static assets anymore.

Disney has like a gazillion dollars. Do they not give you guys a good budget?

Haha, Disney/LFL doesn't fund the title. It's funded by EA. It's the opposite, actually. We pay them part of what we earn since it's their IP.

Thanks, Xbox is a system you cannot afford to lose!!! Do you have any possible workarounds in mind in the meantime? I've done everything short of reinstalling the game and like I said above, it's the only game that I can't play multiplayer on.

There are none. It has nothing to do with your end, just your region. It's 100% on us, so sorry about that.

Working on it. I don't believe it's specifically on our end base on what I've seen from our internal teams. A first pass at fixing it was deployed a half a day ago or so and it fixed it for some, but not everyone. Still working on fixing it permanently.

If Maul had unlimited stamina under the new system, he could attack endlessly and drain enemy heroes of their blocking and attacking abilities, leaving him significantly more powerful.

It's a terrible first pass that indicates that you didn't listen to the community.

The last thing we want to do it overstep and make Anakin super weak. It's smarter to do things in stages as we adjust overall balance. Also, "the community" is not always right. The community is tons of people with different opinions on the matter. We took feedback into account, but there's no way to account for what everyone wants. We have to base it on our best judgement. Apologies if we get it wrong from time to time, but the end goal is to make the experience more enjoyable for everyone.

I'm fairly certain it'll be updated.

It's in their replies. Thats where they do a lot more stuff.

No no no no no, DICE you can't slightly lower the values of Anakin's damage (literally by single digits) and call it balancing; Did you listen to anyone when they gave feedback on how to properly balance Anakin? At all?

I get that you want Anakin to be super powerful, but these "changes" are infuriating to read after having to suffer Anakin for the past month.

Increased Passionate Strike cooldown (12->13)

Like what in the actual hell were you guys thinking? "Yeah this'll really balance Anakin out" A single second added to his cooldown, yeah that's really balancing, great job guys.

This is the kind of stuff that makes people lose faith in the devs, because when problems that are ruining the game get "fixed", they never get talked about again and people turn off the game.

This is a hotfix. This is not the final time we're going to address hero balance. It's just a first pass.

Two things:

  1. I'm not customer support. Please reach out to them if you want proper updates on this matter.
  2. We're doing more XP events to make up for it.

Is error code 721 likely to be fixed by that time? Haven’t been able to play since friday. Also I live in Hawaii

I'm hopeful. It's not directly tied to SWBII, so it's not something I have full insight into. The relevant teams are working on it right now, though.

Sorry for the assumption. Ben’s use of the word “choose” got me very worried.

No worries. That's why I clarified.

Not your fault, don't worry. This is an issue we're tracking with our online services. It came up suddenly on Friday. We've created a bypass that allows many affected players to get past, but not all. Follow @EAHelp on Twitter for updates as we work to resolve this.
