Also in Naboo, in the third phase playing as the clones the AI are spawning right in front of the throne room main doors, while we were defending outside the Palace, meaning we were killing them easily from their back. Pass this onto the team please :)

We're aware of this. Same as the situation with the changes we made to CS last week. The changes we're making via our backend tools aren't sticking or propagating across our servers. We're currently looking in the why.

For Co-Op the plan was to let it start with either 2/3 (we're going to monitor to see how each of those go).

After three whole hours the separatists finally had victory and had won the great battle of Naboo

Definitely not like the simulations. Just a heads up but from our side the ideal time we'd like a game of CS to last is around 45mins.

I challenge the Devs to play a vehicle in a CS match on console. After a minute I got headache, this is about safety also.

That's the thing, we do see every post, or at least the vast majority of them. If something hits the front page then it's as close to 100% as being seen as you can get.

I'll bring up vehicles with the team and see where we are at with the status on them. As always though, bugs get get addressed based on a number of factors, including severity, time to fix (some bugs might take longer to address than others for example) and a few others.

And idk if this has been answered yet but can you please tell us when pre loading is live? I’m on PS4 & really want to pre load the game so that’s over & done with, I think we are under a week away from release now.

Pre-loading starts early next week.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will require 43 GB of space on Xbox One, 55 GB on PC and 60 GB on PS4.

Different platforms handle data differently, nothing more than that really.

CT Lite - Nov 8 [Capital Supremacy]

Post
    /u/F8RGE on Reddit - Thread - Direct

We've been talking about Capital Supremacy a lot lately. In fact you might have seen some changes that we made last week, where we lowered the health of the final objectives down from 5,000 to 3,000.

Our goal for Capital Supremacy is to make the games last much shorter in time. We've all been there, you've joined a game and in some rare cases you could still be playing 2+ hours later. This does happen very, very rarely but that's not what we want from the mode.

In all cases when you load up Star Wars Battlefront II you should be able to think "I have xx amount of time to play, that means I'll go for xx mode". So we've been looking at ways in which we can make games of Capital Supremacy not only shorter but shorter on a regular basis.

We've got some changes about to go live that aim to do that:

  • Reduced Hp of final objectives (2000 was 3000)
  • Increased overtime (10 was 5)
  • Increased base time (360 was 300)
  • Increased bonus...

There is value in discouragement especially for entry level folks. I would imagine there is actually an advantage in gaming because the payout of negating countermeasures gets lower and lower. As a hacker has to work harder, just cheating at a game seems like a poor payout. In banking fraud, negating counter measures pays off in cash.

At the end of the day, you (Dice) have the advantage. Not only do you define the parameters of the game, but you have data on trend analysis of what is normal. Finding anomalies in that is pretty straight forward, combine that with added logging for minor deviation from the norm, and you should be able to stay a step ahead.

Best of luck!

I don’t see how the punishing of players for abusing a product by negatively impacting the integrity of the experience for others, makes it “illegal” to discuss.

I can maybe understand anonymity for sake of defending their identity from public scrutiny, but in terms of discussing what steps you are taking, “illegal” doesn’t sit right.

Just give us something to work with, or at least read about so maybe we can understand better.

But if we talk about what we are doing, that gives those making cheat software a leg up. It's a no win situation for us.

And keep in mind all DICE games have this issue on PC its not just Battlefront. This kinda shit should not be allowed to happen. More specificaly to players like me that have stuck with yall since the beginning. You guys ban players for changing blaster bolt colors but not players who modify damage output settings? what the f**k is up with that shit? If the subreddit didnt have the mods take down these types of posts you guys would've never of acknowledged it.

We do acknowledge it. For some grounding, we have the lowest cheat reporting rate of any EA title, and when I say low it is very low. We are working on stuff, we do ban people. We made changes recently and that report rate dropped over 30%, so things are happening.

We will not talk about what we are doing though, because that then gives people a heads up.

Nope, it's a legal thing. Simple as that, frustrating I know - as frustrating for me as well.

This will probably not get you very far. As before, unfortunately I am not allowed to comment on cheats publicly. These are legal stipulations that I simply cannot break or even bend.

We're not doing character specific appearances.

It's a technical reason. Achievements need all hooked up to the Steam system, which is why we can't just copy and paste from Origin. Timing just didn't line up in this instance.

It's something I know the wider company is looking at for future titles, same goes for Trading Cards.
