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...

We have a repro for this, fix is being worked on.

Everyone told us they didn't count us new maps a few days ago =/

We're watching your feedback on this.

"Hire more people" - Everyone

We might have a repro, currently more testing taking place

We are tracking this and QA are currently hammering it to find a repro step.

This is how Anakin must have felt when he was rolling around on the grass with Padme.

We have a fix for this. If we do a hotfix we'll see if we can integrate it.

The "dam" comment makes a lot more sense now, doesn't it?

Tracking this.

This is my favourite so far

For many people we'll never deliver enough.

I don't actually.

One thing that does frustrate me is when people call the team lazy or stupid etc. Most things that happen, and a lot of the work that goes into the game never get seen. It's like an iceberg.

Ahhh, this old chestnut. Let's see how it ages later on down the line.

Updated the values, as they were slightly off.

Incoming Transmission!

This update has been a much anticipated one, but it’s just around the corner! The headliner of this update is the new game mode, Capital Supremacy, but that by no means is all that’s coming. Brand new reinforcements and lightsaber combat changes are also arriving in this update, along with a number of tweaks and fixes that can be found below.

CAPITAL SUPREMACY

The brand-new game mode comes to Star Wars Battlefront II in this update. Capital Supremacy has players face off against one another in a large-scale nonlinear battle. Both sides fight hard to take down their enemy’s capital ship while conquering the disputed planet.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION

With the arrival of the next update we will be making the first of some changes that we have planned with lightsaber combat. For this update we’re going to be focusing more on the stamina system and how that affects the overall feeling and flow of close combat.

STAGGER CHANGES

One of the most visible changes to lightsaber combat is going to come in the form of the removal of the stagger for attacking heroes. In the current version of the game when a hero attacks a blocking hero, the attacker will stagger backwards.

We’ve seen feedback that this is not desired, and we agree. We feel this breaks the flow of lightsaber combat which is usually free flowing. With this change attacking heroes will no longer stagger backwards upon hitting a blocking hero, meaning they can continue to chain attacks until they run out of stamina.

Attacking with a lightsaber depletes a hero’s stamina and once this...

I'm going to need to see a source on that. File this under something I never said.
