Oh man so I finally unlocked the AC180 pistol, the one that replaces your hand with the configurations.
At first I was skeptical because I figured "what's the point when I can just carry a cycler rifle, ion rocket and whatever with whatever gun I want instead?"
But holy shit, that sniper attachment feels like the strongest sniper in the game because of how fast you can swap to it, and the blast attachment just annihilates groups!
I think the best part is you feel like a total bad ass using it, you go from a sniper to a full charge blaster and when that thing is spent you're using it like a holdout blaster. It's really satisfying to play with.
Working on unlocking the bryar next, but getting these last 9 kills as han solo is proving to be a pain in the ass.

Not entirely sure what's going. Game just feels off.. hit detection, movement is janky as hell and rolling is a death sentence as you'll just end up where you started almost 90% of the time now.
It's as if I am playing on a 2 bar connection but they decided to give everybody the impression that you're on 4 bars.

Defend the uplink in Walker Assault is one way. If you're the Rebels, standby the uplink as it's already activated and kill enemies, if you're the Empire, kill Rebels by the uplink as it's deactivated.
Ive done that didnt trigger once, re-read it again and the proper name is Generator Defence Event.
Then you need to play Sabotage and defend the generator in that.
Even just moving around the main menu is cumbersome. Hopefully the sequel is more snappy.
Had my first try of the Death Star dlc and can't say I like the whole escort R2D2 but the space battle is nice. Seemed like when we got to the escort part the imps just kept getting hero after hero and we got our ass handed to us. Doesn't help that nobody actually moved R2 very far.
Thanks.
Edit: welp, no one plays that mode.
Actually the Death Star foot mission is nice, lots of death around... Just like I imagined it would be.

The Bryar pistol kinda sucks which is unfortunate as a huge dark forces fan ;__;
Rogue One releasing means I've basically been obsessing over Star Wars even more recently. I actually came up with a list of costumes I'd love to see in a potential sequel since I had nothing to do while waiting for some updates to install. Right now it's exclusively Imperial as that is what I have the most knowledge of, but I'd love some more Rebel inclusions.
A New Hope
TIE Pilot
Imperial Gunner
Imperial Technician
The Empire Strikes Back
Snowtrooper Commander
AT-AT Commander
AT-AT Pilot
Return of the Jedi
AT-ST Pilot
Rogue One
Shoretrooper Squad Leader
Hovertank Commander
Hovertank Pilot
AT-ACT Driver
Imperial Ground Crew
The majority of these costumes simply reuse existing assets that are already in the game, as is common in costume making.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Got the Season Pass as a birthday/Xmas present from the Wifey this weekend.
We said we weren't gonna spend a bunch of money on each other this year and spend it on the kids/home improvements instead. So she got me this along with us all going to see the movie today.
Boy child is happy since he can play it too.
I must say the 3 pronged approach adopted in the DLC of varying mission structures like first space battles then on the ground is great. Should have been there from day 1, but it's still a great idea!

Orson Krennic is my new favorite hero he's just a blast to play with

Krennic is a lot of fun to play for sure, but I think that Armor Breaker needs a very slight tweak. Too easy to just straight up dominate with it. Jyn Erso is a lot of fun as well. I love her blaster utility and it's just fun to use, but the sonic imploder (in general) is a wasted ability and needs some tweaks to be made even slightly useful. I haven't had much chance to use her melee ability because as a blaster based hero, the whole point for me is to NOT get in close quarters combat the best I can. Doesn't seem like a very useful ability for her which sucks.

Noob question for GAF
Do you have to select individual DLC packs to play those levels or are those maps Incorporated if say I just select 40 man to queue?

Lol thanks for the answer and you already saying it's dumb for me lol

Yes especially if you can find a deal on the ultimate edition.
It's a complete game now, and it's fun; so yes.

It's like 10x better now than it was at launch that's for sure.
And I play on PC, which despite being a "ghost town" I am able to find matches at 4am no problem.
That's cool Battlefront 2 will have a campaign. I hope whatever xp you earn in story is added to your mp character.
Absolutely!

This game is a lot of fun casually. It's absolutely worth $20.
I can't play it for hours but I can pop it in occasionally and have an hour of fun still, even a year later.

So quick question, if I have the DLCs and I am in a party with a friend who doesn't have them can he play the stuff like death star too?

Spaceghost
Aw that's a bummer, my friend wanted to see if he could try out some of the DLC modes before he decided to drop the money for the season pass.
They've had a free trial weekend for each DLC at this point. Did he just pick it up recently?
They'll likely have one for Rogue One in the future.

Krennic is pretty good to play in the Death Star R2-D2 mission, but I have to say that I cannot get on with Jyn Erso at all, she just seems very under powered to me and also her weapons :/ I don't know how I will get the 30 kills required for the Hutt mission.
I feel you. Jyn's a huge letdown compared to Krennic. Especially when her grenade is the most worthless in the game, her alternate fire pistol is already available to us and much more useful beyond the blaster rifle attachment, and her melee is just a step back from Dengar's.
It's a huge bummer, while on the other hand, Krennic is so much fun.
Jyn's easily the weakest hero in the game, except, maybe Lando.

In the Hero modes to try and rack up kills for the Hutt Mission, I am finding it impossible, the other hero's just round on whoever is playing as Jyn and she just cannot sustain the hits, and with her basic weapon the hits don't seem to do much damage, and the melee is non-existent, the only way I have found to kill is the rapid fire, but trying to get hold of any basic Storm Trooper players is a joke as you have already been killed or get shot to death trying to find some, the only way is to have Jyn in a normal game mode like the Death Star R2-D2 or Cloud City and Death Star Sabotage modes, in open wide areas/maps Jyn is no good.

I've always been under the impression that vader was one of the weakest heroes in the game purely because he has almost no way to leave a bad situation. I still feel like Dengar is ridiculously powerful.
Yeah like 2 days ago lol.
Yeah like 2 days ago lol.
Oh my bad, I already have all the Hutt Challenges completed. lol But yeah, I ended up doing just that, jumping into Heroes vs Villains and quickly choosing Jyn.

How did you get on with killing as Jyn though, any tips?
I have kills 4/30
Sonic Imploder kills 2/5
Just playing through Heroes vs Villains, quickly choosing Jyn when I could and run around finding Stormtroopers instead of dealing with the Villains head on. It's not much, but I ran around with the Blaster Attachment.
As for the sonic imploder? Good luck! I have no clue how I got that one.

I will just keep at it.
I am disappointed that there is no new skin for level 100 on the Rebel, what are the chances of them adding anything?
I highly doubt they'll add or even patch anything at this point, but they did retroactively add variant skins for the Empire when this latest DLC came out for the season pass owners.
Everyone else is getting it on Tuesday.

They must be looking at patching some of the issues in the latest DLC, but the skins is very strange to me, there is no way to identify players at level 100 when as a Rebel, also it doesn't give anything to aim for either, the Empire 100 skin is nothing to write about either.
