Moose King posted:So does anyone have any tips for this? I've been playing since launch and it still seems like every single game for me is just a ten minute exercise of getting shot by someone I never saw and ending up going 5-20. Play, play and play more. Knowing the maps inside out is step 1. Swap guns, a lot. Then when you find one that you really loving like, stop swapping. Most guns handle differently, and when you find one that does what you want and suits your playstyle there's little point swapping out of it. For example, I use the DL-44 almost exclusively. I play close-range, objective-based, jetpack+bowcaster+scan pulse. Long range guns are worthless to me, and they all deal too little damage per shot to matter in point blank firefights. Upgrade your cards. Bowcaster, for example, is such a cheesy easy kill. Jetpack + bowcaster is often a free double kill. There's absolutely no skill in killing with a bowcaster, charge it up, run round the corner and point it at their feet. But that's half my kills on some bigger maps. Upgraded scan pulse reaches a clear mile, and it's literally a wallhack. If they have it and you don't, you won't win the fight. All those times someone seemed to know where you were? He's scan pulsing, I guarantee it. Pick up upgrades. All the time. If it's poo poo (manned turret etc) drop it and gently caress off. Infantry auto turrets, vehicle auto turrets, drop them all. Smart rocket/thermal imploder are literally free kills, fire them off in the objective and laugh. All in all, gunplay is a big deal, but you can work around it, if like me, you're not a great shot.

Return Of JimmyJars posted:I still don't understand why there are no squads or voice chat. Team based objective maps are a mess since nobody helps each other. I agree, it sucks there is no voice chat. I just head in the direction that I think needs help. I've gotten pretty good (almost always in the top 5) using the EE-3. I played supremacy last night and on Jakku I noticed we were getting encircled pretty quickly. Particularly on that map, it happens a lot and you can play on that so there is a bit of tactics to that dont require talking directly to one another. Its almost predictable what people are going to do on some maps. Moose King posted:So does anyone have any tips for this?

Pick a gun that works for you and get good at it for its useful range. I find the EE-3 to be the best all around (just me though). Grab a powerup and know when to dump it or use it. Speaking of powerups, its weird because I seemed to get nothing but Thermal Imploders for every power up I was grabbing. I must have grabbed like 5 of them in a row.

Sith Happens posted:I want customization options for Imperial officer uniforms, which lend themselves to all sorts of additional little details: black or olive uniforms, various rank insignia, cap or no cap, other helmet options like gunners, techs, Death Star troopers, plus uniform "armor" variants like Veers. I'd love to see all this too but I doubt EA will get that granular with their "dad rock" shooter game.

I'd like them to add Emperor's Royal Guards to the 'Shock Trooper' option. Also, learning the maps is difficult, especially Endor. It's all just masses of trees and some of them have Ewok stuff in them. But I'm always desperately trying to locate the Hero/Vehicle power-ups and I can't tell if they're always in the same place or if they keep changing depending on where the action is focused, as I've seen power-ups vanish as I approached them. I can only get the Hero one if I'm lucky enough to spawn right in front of it. I still haven't ever located the Millennium Falcon power-up in Fighter Squadron. I did manage to become Slave 1 once, but I haven't been able to repeat it. Chewie, Lando, IG-88 and Bossk would be my hopes, but it'll probably just be Stormtrooper With Orange Shoulder Thing and Stormtrooper with Blue Shoulder Thing.

You can never guess them, so as to make sure people don't just lineup and camp them. They are meant to be luck of the draw. As for TFA stuff, i hope the cantina wreckage becomes a blast map.

They are in the same places every time, with separate spawning points from regular powerups. The hero tokens replace non-vehicle powerup tokens at random. You can absolutely lineup and camp vehicle tokens because they are 100% consistent in spawn location. Only hero tokens are unpredictable.

A couple of dumb questions: Is it intended that you have to lead really close range targets, like <10ft close? Do missiles you fire vanish if you die before they reach their target?

Leading is absolutely the main skill to gunplay in this game and yes you have to do it from very close range. It's a factor of most shots unlike bf. With that in mind, never stop moving in a gunfight. Never ever crouch unless you've gotten some distance and you just need somewhere to duck to get health back. The guns are much easier to handle than in something like bfield but the fact they fire relatively slowly and the meta favours guns with lowish rates of fire means you can't blat out bullets everywhere and hope enough of them hit to kill, you have to actually place your shots. Play in third person, let your opponent come to you where possible so you can step out and slot him in the face.

Anyone on PS4 having issues with their game staying online? The game keeps telling me I'm offline (I am not) and to sign in to my EA account. Restarting the PS4 dos nothing. When I go into the EA page in setting all I see is the user agreement - no option to even try and sign on. Edit: looks like the EA servers are down. Merry Christmas everyone!

There really isn't a lot from Ep7 to actually include. T70 xwing, 2 very subtly different types of tie, first order troopers. You barely see the resistance dudes.

I just realized that if they actually bothered to inlcude Clone Wars material, zombies are technically canon.  The lack of anything not OT has got to be a sure sign that they're just making another game. There are too many weird/cool/interesting ideas floating around for them to say "Nah, let's just make another Hoth level. You never see enough Hoth in Star Wars!"

Seems limitless considering the fact that sullust and jakku were never in the movies. They could just do any spot they want but there's still bespin and dagobah and the death star if they want to use them.
