Have you considered opening up play testing to a live environment then? NDA the play testers and require a sign up and whatnot.

At the scale we'd need, NDAs would be useless, unfortunately. People like to leak Star Wars stuff more than anything else. I don't think that option is even on the table, but we do closed playtests with players under NDAs when we can. Live would be much harder to manage, but I appreciate the thought.

If anyone has any video of the issue where you get stuck, would love to see them, thanks!

Well I’m pleasantly surprised, guess I judged too early.

I appreciate the honesty.

Hey everyone,

Wanted to give you a quick update on some tweaks that we will be making later today. These will be carried out via some game server updates so no downloads or downtime will be required.

The first change revolves around the Boarding Time that occurs prior to your departure to the capital ship. We will be lowering the time it takes to board the transport ships from 60 seconds to 45 seconds.

Accompanying this change will be an increase in the reinforcements you receive for making it to the transport ship.

This will be increasing from 2 to 3.

The Battle Point cost for both the B2 and B2 Rocket Droid will be corrected as currently they are reversed. Once this update is live the B2 Rocket Droid will cost 1,000BP and the B2 will cost 1,500BP.

The maximum amount of heroes allowed at once during Capital Supremacy is being increased from 2 to 4.

These updates have just finished test and will be live later this afternoon, ...

Very nice clip and play my man, but this clip is also the exact reason to show why Anakin is too OP.

Looking into the BX, especially his weapon.

And fricking nerf Anakin. All of his abilities are superior to any other ability that the other heroes and villains have. His Retribution stuns you for 4 seconds and does 400 damage. It's ridiculous.

Some balance changes for Anakin are on the way, currently being tested.

No offense to Dennis, but I was hyped when I heard that voice at the start of the community update

None taken. An honor just to share the stage with a legend :)

Getting a fix verified, tested, pushed through 1st party submissions and released within a few hours is not something we're able to do I'm afraid. We are working as fast as possible on this, but we need to make sure we don't rush a fix out, we've seen what happens in that situation.

It's what it is now, and there's more to come.

can we get our credits back tho /u/F8RGE

It's not something we're currently planning, we did give everyone 60k free credits last month.

We've been thinking about this for a while but were always reluctant to pull the trigger as we knew there was never going to be a good time. It wasn't until very close to the deployment of this update that we decided to go ahead, we're talking hours before.

At the start heroes for in-game credits made sense, but as the game has evolved we have had to take another look at things. We can see through our telemetry data how many people have unlocked heroes, and we can also see the average credit amounts of players.

While our veteran players have more than enough credits to get everything they want, we are seeing that it's very difficult for new players to pick up a hero. If you are new, by the time you grind to get a hero, you then have a secondary grind if you want an appearance for them. That's not a great experience.

It's our belief that this is in the bes...

Wait, WHAT? I thought they were, so just the MMO is canon then? Anyway, as I've always said ever since EA was given the exclusive license they need to get BioWare to remake the original KOTOR.

MMO is also Legends and continues to operate within it. Anything that started or existed before 2013 isn’t canon, even EA titles, unless specified. The reset of the canon was very thorough.
