Can we get some more details? What mode were you playing, what you were doing at the time, what is the problem exactly?

I don't like Doritos.

Happy cake day!

Server, is already live.

We've made some changes to their rate of melee, should help address this. Let us know how it goes.

We're investigating, thanks.

We took a look, just reduced the frequency in which they should perform melee attacks.

This is the way

We'll take a look.

We just dropped a big update to Supremacy, it's only natural that players will be giving it a lot of attention right now, especially with the new Capital Ships as well. We'll be monitoring to see how it goes.

Conversations have happened.

I was referring to back in late 2018 - early 2019. No changes in this update.

No problem, sorry I wasn't clearer earlier. That one is on me.

Hope this doesn't make the mode bleed out and die.

We don't think this will happen.

One thing we've found is that if a player boots up the game for the first time and jumps into Galactic Assault, they have a pretty tough time of things. A large portion of these players will then close the game down and never come back. That's not good for anybody, not for us as developers and not for the community.

What we've found in Supremacy and Co-Op is that it eases players into how the game works, gives them a chance to level up their Star Cards and get to grips with the flow of the game. What is interesting here (and what our telemetry shows us) is that once players have given Supremacy and Co-Op a shot, they are very likely to jump into Galactic Assault and other game modes. This creates a nice cycle where players are moving around from game mode to game mode in a natural ebb and flow.

Changes like this are a bit out of scope for a weekend event sadly as it needs core mechanics of the mode to change.

We've looked at ways of implementing this, toying with ideas such as if the attackers fail during the ship phase then the game is classed as a "draw".

When we made previous changes we saw that repeat visits to the ship dropped drastically and the vast majority of games are over within one ship phase now. We'll continue to monitor.

We're adding OT because of the requests from the Community, as well as Scarif. We're making changes to Geonosis HvV because of feedback too.

Don't take one UI change to be indicative of us turning our backs on the community.

I'd love to see some focus on the less popular modes so they can become more popular again.

Would come at the expense of working on OT Content for Co-Op and Supremacy. In which case we would be replacing this thread with multiple "stop ignoring the OT era" style threads.

Making decisions like this is a frustrating part of development, we know we can't please everyone so we at least try to please as many as we can.

Content being released is always going to drive some players to check things out, Ewok Hunt in October is a good example of this. The real insight would be would players stick around to play within the mode after the 'new' feeling has worn off. That's the really difficult question to answer and it will likely vary based on game mode, the content being added and more.

We had such a huge outcry for a game mode along the lines of Supremacy to be added, the desire to go back to capturing a command post.

It was always one of the biggest requests we had, which was a large reason why we put our development time behind it. Once it came out, and Supremacy was well received, we updated it further and from there requests came for more Eras to be added.

The release of the Age of Resistance updates proved a great point in time to add the Era to the mode and of course OT content for Co-Op and Supremacy has been amongst the most requested features we've ever had.

They are unlocked via specific milestones.
