Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52875147]only customization is for heroes.[/QUOTE] aw, that's shit

I don't mean to be rude but I don't really understand why this trial is a thing or why anyone is bothered about it. Why pay to play a limited version of a game that will be released in a week's time? I'm excited but playing only ten hours with limited features would just make the wait afterwards more painful. It's like ordering a cake and then eating the icing before it's ready.

I'm so baffled as to why you can't even customize your starfighters

[QUOTE=Zeos;52875291]I'm so baffled as to why you can't even customize your starfighters[/QUOTE] Authenticity [editline]9th November 2017[/editline] I’m glad there isn’t, I don’t want to see several different coloured x-wings flying around, that would make no sense. like they could make you and your squad mates spawn as the same colour, that would be cool.

Poe Dameron and his SPRAY PAINTED X-WING is in the game, that argument is invalid

But I wouldn’t want everyone mixed. [editline]9th November 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeos;52875321]Poe Dameron and his SPRAY PAINTED X-WING is in the game, that argument is invalid[/QUOTE] He is a hero. We’re just average joes

Decals would be cool customization, tiny tie fighters to mark your kills and such, emblems of some sort. But not full on colour changes.

And none of them will get shot in the head. Probably

if you try to argue I shouldn't be able to do this to my gunship [t]https://i.imgur.com/ZkvxhVXh.jpg[/t] [img]https://i.imgur.com/A6w4dPU.png[/img] I will actually put my thumb through your eye

That is hideous.

I'll be there in 20 mins~ [editline]9th November 2017[/editline] also wtf people on /r/swtor are saying they cancelled their preorder because of that promo lol Apparently they all assumed it was a preorder bonus? [editline]9th November 2017[/editline] seems crazy to have you buying a game hinge on whether you get some shitty cosmetic in an mmo

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52875351]That is hideous.[/QUOTE] does EA pay you in battlefront pay2win loot boxes to defend every part of the game or something?

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;52875406]does EA pay you in battlefront pay2win loot boxes to defend every part of the game or something?[/QUOTE] Maybe he just has different opinions about aesthetic skins?? I don't think it looks good either. Tacky, tbh.

[QUOTE=SpearmintSheep;52875094]Nah, The DC-15A can be used as a bullet hose. They do it in the movies at least once, during the droid attack on the wookies probably more[/QUOTE] heck My only remaining argument is that it functioned as a standard rifle for basic troopers in the original Battlefront series. I just like that longboy rifle.

I am sick of it always being red. I loved that the XvT series had different colored ships for each squadron you fought.

[/QUOTE] and cross-era heroes and weapons do? [editline]10th November 2017[/editline] [t]https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/the-siege-of-lothal-trivia-10_635179b0.jpeg[/t] here's a very much canon shot of rebel fighters from the same unit in very obviously different markings btw authenticity my ass

What's up with having to unlock heroes like Vader with 60k credits? This a trial thing? The only locked hero I can excuse is Iden with a requirement to beat the game at launch.

They even had blue marked X-Wings for Blue Squadron in Rogue One which was a really nice touch [t]https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/644/33013491906_0f36a750d9_h.jpg[/t]

So is there a list for all the release dates? I know the game dropped for EA Access and that the game drops for everyone else on the 17th but when does it drop for those that pre-ordered?

Deluxe can preload on 10th and then play on 13th at eastern midnight. Everyone else has to wait till 17th (16th midnight) (to play). Not sure about preloads. according to origin games tab.

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;52875777]Deluxe can preload on 10th and then play on 13th at eastern midnight. Everyone else has to wait till 17th (16th midnight) according to origin games tab.[/QUOTE] Does trial edition not count as the preload?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;52875783]Does trial edition not count as the preload?[/QUOTE] Yea I think so. But that's for EA Origin Access members.

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;52875777]Deluxe can preload on 10th and then play on 13th at eastern midnight. Everyone else has to wait till 17th (16th midnight) (to play).

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;52875406]does EA pay you in battlefront pay2win loot boxes to defend every part of the game or something?[/QUOTE] How is that defending the game? [QUOTE=the_killer24;52875684]here's a very much canon shot of rebel fighters from the same unit in very obviously different markings btw authenticity my ass[/QUOTE] I was talking about mixing colours, markings are fine. [QUOTE=PaChIrA;52875664]Screw that, I want to have green stripes. I am sick of it always being red. I loved that the XvT series had different colored ships for each squadron you fought.[/QUOTE] I'm fine with that as long as there are groups of colours. I don't want the space battles to look like clown puke [QUOTE=PaChIrA;52875767]And like I told him before it happened in the movies too, at the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Scarif. They even had blue marked X-Wings for Blue Squadron in Rogue One which was a really nice touch[/QUOTE] I never said different colours never existed. But they should be tied to specific maps. Just like what they're doing with Clone Legions. [editline]10th November 2017[/editline] Speaking of Clone Legions, a few unused ones were found in the files, including the 501st and the Wolfpack [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7bz7o6/more_clone_legions_in_the_game_files/[/URL]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52876214] I was talking about mixing colours, markings are fine. [/QUOTE] those are different colored markings genius please stop defending cosmetics because of "muh authenticity" in a game where people can fight with weapons that won't be invented for 50 years alongside people who haven't been born yet and/or people who died a few decades ago [editline]10th November 2017[/editline] nobody's necessarily even asking for sick call of duty 420 dewritos camos, just [I]any[/I] lick of customization

Especially when the shitfest of the previous game HAD CUSTOMIZATION

They're looking into customization. [editline]10th November 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=the_killer24;52876481] nobody's necessarily even asking for sick call of duty 420 dewritos camos, just [I]any[/I] lick of customization[/QUOTE] I'm fine with customization. Just not customizing squadron colours, those should be tied to the map just like legion colours and armour currently are. Or if they let you modify your squadron colour, apply it to some of the other people in the match (only you can see it obviously), or the squad you spawn with to keep it consistent. [editline]10th November 2017[/editline] There are references to both Phase 1 and Phase 2 ARC Troopers in the game files. They could be future or scrapped content.
