Well... If your like me and on imperials... You skip the flight tokens because "gently caress me if I feel like dueling against an A-Wing right now."

A-wings for whatever reason seem a lot easier to take down in walker assault than fighter squadron but I could just be running into really bad pubbies there. Also I killed Darth Vader with an R5-D4 droid the other day and it was the best thing I've ever done in a game ever.

It's just that in walker assault everyone slows down to strafe people on the ground and it makes them targets

spiralbrain posted:You can decide to fly more often than command an ATST and even more so than an ATAT. Players seem to run right past the flight pickups from what Ive noticed. Tip for new people: Literally all you have to do if you're going to crash into something in an airspeeder is press up on the d-pad. Make strafe runs directly at ground level at at-sts if you want and then as you're about to crash into them just press up and you fly right over it and continue on your merry way. (don't know which F key it is on keyboard)

Tim Burns Effect posted:drat, did they change something about how they do matchmaking in the patch or is just literally everyone playing Turning Point? There's like nobody playing in any other modes and I wanna play the new map in Fighter Squadron Seemed to be a little jacked for me too, like only 50 people were online. Droid run would only put me in the same fresh lobby with a few people, and walker assault even plopped me in a half empty room that took a minute to fill. (No probs going straight into full games usually) Real answer  game is dead only 20 people online goons called it

Today I met a hacker on my own team. He had something like 35 kills inside the first uplink. I decided that I would troll him by standing directly in front of him all the time. Turns out he also has the ability to DC a player from the EA servers. Yay anti-cheating.

Why would they change it the map cycle so that you play each side before switching? Why not just make it one match per map but scramble the teams so it's random what side you play each time instead of a stupid flip flop? Are they ever going to make a good decision?

The fact that there's now 5 WA maps so its an actual cycle every time and you'll end up playing them all as both sides would be a fine solution to leave it at, except for the fact that who the gently caress sits there for 10 games of WA in a row (ok it was me at launch, but not now), and once they add another map its back to square one again.

All it needs now is to do a little comparison at the end to see which team played better. Whose walkers got further, etc

So Turning point is pretty fun, played it as both sides. Only the one map is pretty weak though, how hard would it be to modify the walker assault maps for turning point? Jakku is an awesome map, looks great, especially the skybox. Holy wow. Are there any new blast maps or is it just turning point? That's weak.

I like some of the new spawns, but man it makes hoth really rebel sided. I think imperials really have to win the a-wing vs tie interceptor battle in phase 2 to have a solid shot at winning.

After a week hiatus I've come back to the game and it only became more apparent to me how frustrating and shallow the game is. At least the grenade spam has been fixed somewhat but every game I got in was two or three players on the enemy team with upgraded Explosive Shot, using it and then hiding until it recharges.

A Wings feel just a slight touch slower at turning than I remember. Other than that, they seem to be the same old bullshit.

I think the reason is they don't want to break up those who queue with buddies and want to play on the same team. I also wouldn't want to be "randomly" assigned to the same side multiple games in a row. I prefer playing as the rebels, so 4 games in a row as an imp would get kinda old.

So if I was smart enough to not pre order but dumb enough to buy the season pass already, I don't get jakku right away? I'm still at work. And of course I didn't pay $10 extra for the best gun either so I guess I am the king idiot.

Well with the maps not really balanced, giving you a random team each time would sometimes be really lovely. Static switching does mean that eventually with 5 maps you'd play each side, but like someone said you can't always expect people to play 10 rounds in a row. Also when they release the next map you have the old problem again. The teams don't seem to change too much between side switches, so you also get that feeling of doing better than the other team did, while 5 rounds later you don't get that. Also seeing less charge card usage, though unsure if that is just all the spergs being out in the new map or the fix making people more conservative.

Ideally you pre-ordered the day before. But some of those who pre-ordered on GMG didn't get the early jakku thing either. Sucks but it'll be out for you in a week. I wouldn't say king idiot.

You will earn the gun as you play, and they will stay scrubs because they only use a single, OP weapon. Someday you will have that weapon, and they will still be scrubs. And on that day the trenches will run red with blood.

I think my favourite part of Jakku is how much the black Shadow Trooper armour stands out against the desert, allowing strafing run after strafing run in the airspeeder targetting the ones who are probably getting most mad.

The slightly tighter spread on the bowcaster is decently nice. I'm messing around with using it inside and with jetjumps outside, and results are decent. Probably be the next thing people are complaining about, but at least it is pretty easy to accidentally kill yourself with it unlike barrage.

The Jakku map is by far my favorite on Fighter Squadron solely because it makes it fun to fly close to the ground all the way across as opposed to little clusters of stuff like on Sullust or Hoth. Honestly this may be heresy but I'm having WAY more fun with Fighter Squadron than I ever did with the space battles in Battlefront 2. Of course the best thing would be if we got large-scale space battles with these mechanics but who knows.

Played my first match ever. Endor WA, on Imps. 5 seconds in, I see a shiny blue thing, so I grab it. Buddy tells me it's a walker pickup, push 4 to purge rebel scum. Ok, I can do that. Oh hey, I have a grenade launcher? Cool. Buddy tells me to go to some offline point. I stumble around a stump and find a dozen angry green ants that start tickling me with blaster fire. I push 1 and they all die. gently caress yeah! Every time I start to walk away, the ants come back and I have to purge them with grenade fire. By the time Luke cuts me out of my walker, I have 32 kills and a chatlog of angry rebels upset about me. Game owns, 10/10

This is easily the most poorly balanced game I've ever played. It's fun, but it's starting to get a bit annoying how impossible it is to win as Imperials on Walker Assault. You have to have retardedly unbalanced teams skillwise to even have a chance

The Jakku map is amazing. Did one match of Turning Point from each side, and the feeling of meatgrinding through those series of wrecks was peak Star Wars. They sound design of the dying Super Star Destroyer is on point too, it sounds like the scream of god. You can fly your airspeeder past the still burning engines of that crashed regular SD too. So, so good. Here's the crashing SSD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfIPxduRUIU Parkingtigers fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Dec 2, 2015 |

You want ion torpedo. Ion grenade isn't so good anymore and ion shot is... OK but the boost isn't enough to warrant dropping something murdery. Or just kill it from a fighter.
