Probably like all us other anti-social goons who say "no mic" when in reality it's crippling social anxiety.

So the smart rocket. What's up with this thing? I have yet to hit a single person with one.

Siets posted:While jump pack + memecaster is certainly annoying, I've found jump pack + homing shot to be almost equally annoying. The lock-on time for that is so short that you can jump above someone's cover, lock them, and fire the missile from the sky leaving them nowhere to run to dodge it. Mark my words, if memecaster is ever nerfed it'll be the next obnoxious combo. Probably, but at the very least it's somewhat counter able with Bodyguard and can only kill a max of one player as opposed the the bow caster's 'everyone in the general area dies'

Don't aim at a player with it. Fire it at their feet as that will be an easier target to hit than aiming for the body. Even better is firing it at a group of players if you can, as Kelly said.

There seems to be a problem with the report system where you can't type anything in. Would be nice so EA knows you're reporting someone for calling other players "sandniggers", and not just being frivolous.

Something really has to be done about the spawn camping which, on certain maps, is perilously close to me spiking a PS4 controller. I'm the "casual gamer" audience EA targeted with this game but it's seriously unfun when some moron with a DL44 sits in the darkest spots of the map (hangars on Hoth Supremacy, I'm looking at you) and racks up 57 quadrillion kills before your squad realises what's happening. Ideally a short window of invincibility, because spawning in a safe area on the opposite side of the map means running a marathon to get back into the action.

Tiny Lowtax posted:It's frustrating as gently caress because as a new player I'm put up against pretty much all level 40-50 players with gear I can only dream of getting so I end up with 3 kills and 24 deaths per match. You can grenade spam your way to a 1 k-d on most 40 player maps. Thermal grenade uplinks, capture points, over walls, round corners, whatever, chances are you'll get a kill or more half the time. Also, pick up the powerups. Run to them. Thermal imploder = kill, usually double etc. Smart rocket = kill. Infantry turret = kill or more usually. Just gotta get smart if your blaster game is weak.

I guarantee he is either scan pulsing, in which case you can easily off him by doing the same, or he's actually using the radar. Indoors the radar is a giant "there's a guy coming down that corridor... Now he's nearer.... and he'll come round the corner.... NOW" and is basically a maphack. Given that indoor firefights happen at 2m distance, and he's 95% chance wielding a DL-44 or SE-14c, weapons that are meant to be used at very close range... Basically what I'm saying is - can't beat them join them. Jumpcasting is boring as gently caress but hey, it puts you top of the scoreboard and makes you feel fuzzy inside.

Yesterday was one of the rare days when everything clicked for me. 8 rounds WA 6 wins 2 losses. Great fun very close rounds. And I went on a mad rampage with th AT ST completely annihilating rebel at on Jakku in phase 3 to the point where half their team came at me. Good times. Pro tip: for Jakku your first hand should be x + personal shield + Jetpack and your second hand Pulse rifle + x + ion torpedo

This specific incident was not a case of him using the game's tools, but rather its weaknesses. He was camped in the corner of a hanger and shooting people in the back as they spawned. The third time I died within 5 seconds of spawning I just quit.

Spawn points are entirely retarded on Hoth as it is.

Contacted customer support regarding not being able to get past the launch screen. Despite me having 20+ hours in SW:BF, the customer rep decided that my computer could no longer run it, and refunded me the full $56 price. Guess I dodged a bullet.

Is it gone from your library? With BF4 they did that and then people who had gotten refunded ended up still having the game and were able to play after a patch some weeks later in some cases.

As of this morning I can def agree this game needs a server browser or it is DOA because DICE which is annoying because a) lots of fun and b) Overwatch isn't probably coming until like June because Blizzard and c) nobody's making TF3 because Gaben Booo

I'm not really sure where all this "game is deaddd  " chat is coming from. As a PC player, even with our low population every time I click the Play Video Game button, I get put into a game instantly. We are just at the tail-end of an information lull from DICE. I think they are supposed to be announcing in a few weeks what the DLC is going to contain and when it is coming.

Trying to get into a game for half an hour and then giving up is bad Walker assault and fighter squadron.. Neither. Is there a more popular modes? Based on the complaints online it isn't that there's games it's that sometimes you just don't get in. One dude said he never find a game but his friend does and the live near each other so the only option he has is to join when friend does I imagine there's some others who just aren't getting in and they're ink the same boat Ps4 and Xbox don't count

The thing is that the matchmaking is bad. You can sit there and wait the 2 minutes for it to do whatever the hell it's doing, and it puts you into an empty lobby by yourself, but then you quit and it instantly matches you into a game. They should really just have a loving server browser or something

Something is kinda busted with the PC matchmaking. It was fine, then Jakku and it broke, then went back to working and broke again. Quit and rejoin and cross ya fingers. Player pop has been pretty steady around 10k, plenty of folks if it would lobby up right.

They really should have just forced download of Jakku, and all other free DLC. It's going to be messy enough when the paid stuff comes out.

I so rarely get empty lobbies and when I do a new search gets a 39/40 game usually instantly. The population isn't massive, but it's not dead yet.

Man I was playing Fighter Squadron and annihilating pubbies and missed the Rogue Squadron games, so my cousin and I just played through the co-op version of Rogue Leader that's on Rebel Strike. Hell of a lot of fun still and it holds up really well, even if I can't hit poo poo anymore.

Miraculous little bit on Hero Hunt. Trying to knock out a challenge of getting 20 kills (which took forever), but this last round, I started as Han Solo to allow me to finish it, and then every time Han Solo came up in rotation after that, I got to be him as I happened to be the guy who killed Skywalker. Best I've done on that. Got 24 kills total, which is huge for me in one game.

If they wanna keep this game alive post patch they need to add in at the very least auto-balancing and random team assignments on a map change.
