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

judging by the background picture Finn is a shooter and Phasma is another melee character?

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;52936482]judging by the background picture Finn is a shooter and Phasma is another melee character?[/QUOTE] Her staff is just an ability. Her main weapon is her Blaster.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52936496]Her staff is an ability.[/QUOTE] oh have their other abilities already been datamined?

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;52936498]oh have their other abilities already been datamined?[/QUOTE] Grenade Launcher, Self Heal and Stun Staff General Grievous' abilities are already in the files as well Stun Slam, Lightsaber Spin and Buzzsaw

And has Finn's abilities been datamined?

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;52936510]And has Finn's abilities been datamined?[/QUOTE] Not yet. Nothing related to him existed in the files until today's patch.

I think Grevious would have been great as a saber + blaster combo character. Has sabers but also has an ability like Leia to pull out a long range blaster.

The new space hero, Tallie, her internal code name is ‘QueenHoneyBee’. Which is reference to the TLJ A-Wing’s code name of ‘HoneyBee’ I may have mentioned this before, but the TIE silencers code name in the files was ‘Grizzly Boat’ only the TLJ exclusive stuff has code names, everything else has the real names. well except Crait, or at least it’s music files.

Just played an hour long game of strike, went 53-12. Reward? 530 credits. [I]I can just feel the sense of pride and accomplishment I got for playing 45 minutes of overtime.[/I]

What do you guys thinkg the chances are that after all of this EA will put BF2 on sale over Christmas to entice more people into buying it before they reinstate the microtransactions? I still really want to give it a shot but even on key websites its more expensive than any other major title out right now.

You can see a cart that had filming equipment on the very right of the pic. Thought it was pretty neat. I think they're filming a segment since they're probably gonna do an episode with the cast of Star Wars [t]https://i.imgur.com/M70v5bL.jpg[/t]

I don't think I'm ever going to touch another villain. Palpatine is just [B]so fucking fun[/B] Went 79 elims by the end of a game of hoth.

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itP-NdJnJKQ&feature=youtu.be[/media] It's not working out too well...

I just feel like having a saber is asking to be prioritized and shot at. [editline]30th November 2017[/editline] So you finally get credits for leveling up but now here I am almost level 30 and now have to grind as all hell to get a level up.

Has the rubberbanding lag bullshit been fixed with the new update? It was borderline unplayable the other day, so I hope so

[QUOTE=redBadger;52936913]So you finally get credits for leveling up but now here I am almost level 30 and now have to grind as all hell to get a level up.[/QUOTE] I think you got credits for leveling up before as well. It just wasn't visible on the score screen.

Yeah you always got credits, it just never showed them at the end results screen. [editline]1st December 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Wafflemonstr;52936929]Has the rubberbanding lag bullshit been fixed with the new update?

Seems like they planned to only deliver a third of the singleplayer campaing on launch, but then they proceeded to only do 25% of the job. Many continuity issues, general issues (ie on the last [sp]Kylo Ren choke dream[/sp] the "out of bounds" message pops for a few frames, clipping issues, general AI weird shit, rushed story, etc). There seems to be a skeleton there for something amazing, with some actually fun sequences (shriv/lando, first iden battles, star battles), but it just feels like they just didn't finish it. I'm pretty disappointed with it, I played it all expecting it not to deliver, but the few flashes of "I'm going to deliver!! just wait!!" just makes it that much more of a gut punch. [editline]1st December 2017[/editline] Meh, I guess this was already said a thousand times really.

I forgot you had to buy characters in the original Battlefront 2 with score points. [editline]1st December 2017[/editline] But you only have to kill what 5 people to get the top class? And you keep it.

You don't buy characters in og battlefront 2 You randomly get them from being high score

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;52938018]You don't buy characters in og battlefront 2 You randomly get them from being high score[/QUOTE] Well, what he meant to say was, the higher tier unique units unlock after you achieve either through kills or the objective a high enough points score on the score board and heroes are randomly given out to the best players. So no, you don't "buy" them persay, they just unlock after a small amount of time in battle doing relatively well with the lower tier units.

[QUOTE=Wafflemonstr;52936929]Has the rubberbanding lag bullshit been fixed with the new update? It was borderline unplayable the other day, so I hope so[/QUOTE] It is literally unplayable for me, still. After more than a week. And I've done everything possible on my own end. Their customer service was pretty adamant about enforcing their return policy to "24 hours after first launch". [B]*edit* [/B]I renege my previous statement. The latency issues I'm having seem to be omnipresent to any game I play, and it is only affecting my computer within the household. Just seems that it all coincided with the latency issues that the Battlefront II servers were experiencing, and was a total coincidence. [I]Sorry about all my complaints! [/I]

Though there is a limit to how many can spawn which includes AI using the class (which is apparently not in place with the Reinforcements in the EA game). I feel it's more balanced that way.

It's something like 15 pts in OG BF2 to unlock the top tier basic unit, which is usually the Jet Trooper iirc. Also the lag for me has been pretty on and off. Sometimes I'll be able to play with no issues, other times I'll get reamed with lagging and rubberbanding. Though most of the time the game has been alright, or it stabilizes after a few minutes

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTURChcYM9A&feature=youtu.be[/media] Seems like a really cool dude.

Welp hit rank 50, guess no more level up credits :( There shouldn't be a max rank. Make it similar to overwatch and just have it reset to 1 with a special emblem.

So phasma looks better than what the skill names sound. Seems like a HoT placed item, a grenade launcher that does a bit of damage on impact then shoots three nades, and the wall is decent for blocking stuff. Just need to see how much hp the heal ticks for. Still waiting on Finn's abilities, hope we know what they are before we have to choose a side.

No sign of Finn's abilities in the data. Unlikely we'll have them in game before the DLC drops, but DICE might release the info themselves.
