Please stop, threads like this are not needed. There are no heroes or rockstar on the team, and it's just that, a team. Plenty of people behind the scenes doing great work.

Appreciate the sentiment, but is the Star Wars team at DICE you should appreciate. Everyone plays their part.

(It never stops being weird waking up and seeing yourself on Reddit)

It's about setting a mood.

No new maps in over two years has done that a hell of a lot better than any picture!

Felucia, Geonosis, Kessel, all the capital ships?

In the way he used it, I’m assuming it takes them that long on the super detailed ones. The Grievous one for example with all of his armor shattered from battle.

Correct. Some appearances are quicker than others. There's more to just making an appearance than the art side of things too, it's the testing, integration into the game, UI, localisations, testing and much more.

Will now mention the era-appropriate heroes that spawn.

Disagree. I've seen discussion around their shield quite a bit too. Droideka are intended to be more close combat combatants than long range.

When you respond to bug reports, that sets a pretty clear standard that people will expect.

Saying “seen”, “tagged” etc to know we have seen threads and it was met with a lot of unhappiness.

A lot of unhappiness because you never fix any of those issues. We have no reason to assume you guys are actually working on the bugs when none of them get fixed.

Every update is accompanied by a list of issues that we have fixed.

Hey ben i know that you probably cant answers this, but what is in your opinion one thing that this game is really missing? From a fan perspective. Like even better gunplay like BfV or vehicles with Multiple persons or a Favorite Planet of yours

Star Wars is a big galaxy, there's always something someone will want. That's a lesson we learn every single day of the week.

I'm just glad that we managed to include some of my own favourites, Clone Commando, ARC Troopers etc

My dream actually, would love to team up with my lil sis and bro /u/F8RGE this would be amazing. Please consider, siblings huge fan of the game and starwars, would be awesome if we could play together instead of buying another console.

Also happy cake day !

It would be great, but would be a huge technical undertaking with some significant barriers needing to be brought down. As such, online split screen is not something we are actively pursuing right now.

We have nothing to add at this time. If we did, we'd let you know. A lot of the time I can't comment on future content simply because there are so many factors at play. Things could be getting lined up for announce, plans might not be 100% locked and so forth.
