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

I think the "Light Side" and "Dark Side" cosmetic crates you get for beating the arcade missions are an indication that maybe the "cosmetic" you would have gotten was a skin. I don't consider emotes and victory poses as "cosmetics" usually I consider those skins.

I just can't wait to see them introduce character customization as a microtransactive feature instead of implementing it like it was in BF1. I'm sure that will be a point of contention for later discussions. I feel like they really skimped on giving us anything again. What a shame.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52929933]Most likely placeholder, those are probably the names of their model files as well. The rebel heads had similar names in the BF1's files. [editline]28th November 2017[/editline] Well Phasma is in the game right now with a placeholder model. Hell there is a General Grevious model as well, and the Sentinel class I posted earlier. Finding unfinished content really isn't that strange. I doubt anyone will be fired over this.[/QUOTE] I'm talking about being late on cosmetics for the boxes which undoubtedly fucked the entire thing up at this point

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;52930592]I'm talking about being late on cosmetics for the boxes which undoubtedly fucked the entire thing up at this point[/QUOTE] But then we have this [URL]http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-11-28-you-probably-dont-want-darth-vader-in-pink[/URL] Which makes it sound like they don't want to do cosmetic micro-transactions at all. [editline]28th November 2017[/editline] They fixed it [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/330822032097017856/385209202332663820/image.png[/img]

all people want are some lore-friendly costumes and diverse armor cosmetics. I think it's silly seeing the same 4 guys when I choose a squad

[QUOTE=redBadger;52930830]all people want are some lore-friendly costumes and diverse armor cosmetics. I think it's silly seeing the same 4 guys when I choose a squad[/QUOTE] They're coming.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52929792]It was confirmed during the AMA IIRC that more customization is coming, it's probably related to that. They probably ran out of time to release it at launch. If you notice it isn't finished, I.E. the Clone camo only applied to the body, not the helmet. [editline]28th November 2017[/editline] According to Zebra there are no options for FO and Imperials at the moment. [editline]28th November 2017[/editline] Ah wait, there are head options for the First Order Officer class and more aliens for the Rebels [URL]https://imgur.com/a/CdNSV[/URL] Each Rebel/Resistance class gets 3 aliens to choose from, except assault which only has 2.[/QUOTE] So are droid customization options buried somewhere? Not seeing clearly where these customization leaks are being posted, and I'd like to see what options Seperatists may get.

[QUOTE=Drewsko;52931097]So are droid customization options buried somewhere? Not seeing clearly where these customization leaks are being posted, and I'd like to see what options Seperatists may get.[/QUOTE] There are no options in the files. but I don’t know what kind of skins you could do with droids. the colours on them are to help tell the classes apart.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52931126]There are no options in the files. but I don’t know what kind of skins you could do with droids. the colours on them are to help tell the classes apart.[/QUOTE] You could give Geonosis colors to all but the specialists, [thumb]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/star-wars-canon/images/6/69/100285_press011212.png/revision/latest?cb=20151106042531[/thumb] There's camoflauge ideas that appeared in action figures a while back, [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/f8/Camo_super_battle_droid.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060907005046[/img][img]https://i.redd.it/r4p9h936o8sz.jpg[/img] Also Specialists could have the funky firefighter droid skin for kicks. [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/d/d7/Firefighting_battle_droid.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090310051021[/img] Plus Commando droids could have one of the slots as a skin if you don't want to add another class on top of the Droidika demand: [thumb]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/c/ce/CommandoDroids-SWE.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110928004514[/thumb]

they could come up with neat colour schemes too, not everything they add necessarily has to be pre-established

The class colours need to stay, they’re a visual identifier. so nothing that would change that. the material under the class colour could change, as long as it didn’t make it harder to see.

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;52927798]some guy I keep running into thinks I'm hacking on HvV and he actually made a video of me, thought he was joking :v: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3l7_OsbFvU[/media][/QUOTE] ee the hacker! What's funny about this dude is that instead of seeing that you're doing well and trying to replicate that himself, he'd much rather record and post a youtube video claiming that you're a hacker and the game is full of hackers. Like how much effort are you willing to put into not learning? Han Solo has detonite charge, which is crazy powerful, and you even get quite a few kills using it in the video. He also has rapid fire and elbow charge. It's all offensive, 2/3rds of them are also ranged. Of course he's going to do well against melee-only heroes, especially when they're distracted and they don't realise that jedi characters are completely vulnerable to blaster fire from the back, so you really don't want to get flanked. But nah, there's got to be some other reason that he's not getting as many eliminations as Rey. She can spot enemies through walls! And also confuse their controls for a brief spell - how could he not be racking up kills with those silver bullets?

So apparently matthew mercer isn't Kylo and there's a reason the unmasked one sounds shittier [img]https://i.redd.it/9p9czw5k8q001.png[/img]

I think Roger did a good job with unmasked Kylo for what he was given. The tie silencer lines are much worse. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9TG7XxzbT0[/media] Really hard to believe this is Sonics VA too.

TBH I think Commandos should be their own reinforcement, each faction already has their own thing to go along with it, with the exception of the sequel trilogy. Republic - RepublicCommandos CIS - Commando Droids Rebels - Specforce Commandos Imperials - Imperial Commandos

I'd want to have a Rebel character that looks like the Rebel troopers in Rogue One. The aesthetic that they had was so fucking rad.

[IMG]https://puu.sh/yvIl0/aef1ae4993.jpg[/IMG] What KILLS me about this fucking picture is that if I had done this on EAFront 1, I'd have gotten about 2.7k credits off this performance. Not only did I clutch the team twice with Boba to get both hangers on Hoth. I did the same again and nearly won us the match had it not been for me dying on my first time with Boba to a fucking wookiee. Let me tell you, wookiees are the biggest bullshit class wise in the game. They outclass EVERY OTHER ENFORCER AND HERO UNITS. For the uniformed here's what the wookiee has. 1. AOE bowcaster w/o over charge. It also deals an insane amount of damage if you're hit directly with it. 2. Overcharged ability that makes it more accurate, which in turn makes it far deadlier than it's base form. Oh and it's bugged. The only enforcer with a bugged ability that lets them turn it on and off and have it at full charge. 3. Thermal imploder. Nobody else has something this devastating. FO Flame Trooper gets a fire grenade, Death Troopers get a sonic imploder which is basically a shittier flash grenade. CIS get B2 wrist rockets which aren't remotely good. 4. It's the same enforcer for all the lightside factions. It makes sense for the Rebels and on Kashyyyk but it gives such a massive edge to defending clones and resistance teams because it's sheer damage output. Wookiee enforcers are literally a better version of Chewie because he's 3k BP, all eras, and doesn't have a cap. That's right If SOMEHOW 10 people on your team each had 3k BP to spend, you can have 10 wookiees. Me and some friends tested this out on blasts where our 7 man group had 7 wookiees. Which if you'd like to know makes blasts impossible for the opposing team.

Why would they not do cosmetic loot boxes / microtransactions? All they give a fuck about is money and it'd net them a shit tonne, am I missing something? Also I'm so glad seemingly all the First Order Officers are women so people screech even harder about it.

Have they patched the game so it isn't perpetually unplayable due to network issues?

[QUOTE=revan740;52932059]Have they patched the game so it isn't perpetually unplayable due to network issues?[/QUOTE] That's a server side issue not a game issue. The game wouldn't need to be patched. EA said they're investigating it. [editline]29th November 2017[/editline] First 7 seconds of this video teases the TLJ DLC.

[QUOTE=revan740;52932059]Have they patched the game so it isn't perpetually unplayable due to network issues?[/QUOTE] I don't get any network lag on PC anymore but I've seen some on reddit who are still complaining about it.

"Accolades" my ass

[QUOTE=qwea00;52932161]I don't get any network lag on PC anymore but I've seen some on reddit who are still complaining about it.[/QUOTE] I don't get it. I've been in servers where I ask if people are lagging, and some people will say "Yeah, unplayable." While others have said "I haven't lagged since Monday!" How is that possible? It's every game mode, every server, no matter how many times I try to reconnect or make a new matchmaking request. This game is a fucking mess, and I can't even return it.

I played some Starfighter Assault earlier today and the lag there was still quite significant. In other news, a dev on the official forum said that they have a fix for AFK abusers coming soon™.

I can't wait for them to fix the afk problem, had two afks and 1 leaver last night on my team in a HvV game

I want to know who's dumb idea it was to make everyone earn the same amount of credits. [editline]29th November 2017[/editline] The lightsabers looks so much better without that shitty lensflare [video=youtube;ERcI6LB4B4Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERcI6LB4B4Q[/video]
