Full Metal Jackass posted:What's the deal with the DirecTV dishes on Hoth? Are they supposed to do more damage than the other turrets there or something? I can't kill anyone with them with their one shot and then cooldown. Are they supposed to charge or something? I hit a guy right on and got hit markers and he didnt die. They're really for vehicles. They do like a quarter of an ATST's health and 5% of an ATAT's per shot. They also one shot fighters if anyone is dumb enough to try strafe you from a super low angle

Honestly the annoying thing about ion torpedoes for pilots is that a lot of the time you can actually dodge them with sharp tens depending on what angle it's coming at you from but it's almost completely arbitrary when this does and does not work

AlmightyPants posted:I see Battlefront up for sale for $45 right now, debating getting it. I liked the demo a lot, but if it doesn't have much more than a handful of maps I'm not sure I want to pay that much. Thoughts? It entirely depends on how much $45 means to you

Jakku is really fun, pretty biased in favor of the Rebels but it's mostly because 90% of the Imperials don't realize that if you lose one point you lose them all in that zone

More importantly after the game starts everyone loads in but gets to wait another 15-20 seconds or so to show off your emotes

Jakku is also a great example of how useful speeders can be with a super open outdoors map and no enemy fighters to contest them not very

Super 3 posted:I feel like an Ion torpedo is only doing about 25% of their hp, blowing them up in an AT-ST isn't too hard but against infantry early game they really rape face. ion shot + t-21 kills them from full hp in like 3 seconds

It looks like Imperials no longer get any air support at all in phase 3 on Sullust now. Not sure who was arguing that the Rebels had way too hard of a time on that planet of all places

Btw they also took out interceptors from phase 3 Hoth so I hope the Imperials won the air battle in phase 2 or else you get 2-3 A wings and snowspeeders dumping on them all phase long lol

Fightest posted:My question is why turbolasers on Sullust are anti-infantry. They are capital ship weapons for use against capital ships. They are the same as the guns in the Death Star trench, and here they do gently caress all against AT-STs. My immersion is ruined. To be fair they 1 shot fighters if you can hit one

They also moved some of the vehicle power ups in the balance patch. So the rebel x wing power up in phase 1 hoth that used to be in the crashed X wing is now on top of the cliff overlooking it; which was a pretty good change imho since before it was pretty much smack in the middle of one of the main empire routes

Sullust is absolutely miserable for the Imperials now holy moly. Even if you stop them from getting a single Y wing in the first phase, all it takes is a couple good A wing pilots in the second phase and you're hosed, since now the third phase you have no way to contest them

Of all the blasters I think I actually like the full auto heavy blaster that wasn't in the beta the most. It's pretty accurate at long range but still can hold its own up close unlike the t-21b

Shooting down A-wings with turbolasers on Sullust is maybe the most satisfying thing you can do in the game, and only slightly less frustrating than trying to kill people with the cycler rifle

ZypherIM posted:Have you played endor? There are no static guns in phase 1, the imperial spawn is very close, and one of the rebel spawns is inside making it about the same distance as the imperial spawn. A second rebel spawn is directly in front of the at-at, so if someone gets in that is covered. The last rebel spawn is at the bottom of a hill which makes camping that one pretty easy, between troops and the at-st. A big issue with this on Hoth at least is that if the rebels focus and destroy the closer ATAT in phase 1 it makes phase 2 significantly easier for them. On Sullust at least the walkers are in a line so losing one isn't as dramatic of a loss

They honestly just need to make the hitbox on the a wing slightly bigger. Even if it's going at slow speed if it's flying directly at you in an atst your shots still miss 80% of the time because it's such a tiny target

Milky Moor posted:It feels like there's very few things that reward skilled play in Battlefront. It's a very casual shooter. The fact that DICE isn't balancing any of the more egregious issues like A-Wings or the DL-44 is pretty strange to me. Of course, I've never actually played a DICE game before. Having the stuff be killstreaks is completely antithetical to the core design of the game, which is allowing anyone and everyone equal access to the game and all the cool stuff.

The game doesn't have a ton of depth to it. It does this in order to be more accessible to everyone who can jump right in and have fun with it. EA even admits this fact

Siets posted:We can go back and forth on this all day. The reality is I don't think you guys understand what you are saying when you accuse the game of a lack of depth. This is evidenced by the fact that you just say "it doesn't have depth" and seem completely incapable of describing what you are saying. No gun customization, small rotation of maps for each game mode, almost exclusively multiplayer, small variety of vehicles, whatever else you want to put here. It's not like this is a contentious issue for everyone else; here's the CFO of EA explicitly stating the game doesnt have as much depth as some people might've wanted. Blake Jorgensen posted:"So, an 8-year-old could play with his father on the couch, as well as a teenager or 20-year-old could play the game and enjoy it. It is more accessible. And for the hardcore, it may not have the depth that they wanted in the game."

Siets posted:So lets assume we all take up the Utnayan banner and relentlessly boycott EA releases. Is there an actual chance that EA dumps the Star Wars exclusivity contract if sales are bad enough, thereby allowing new developers to take up the mantle? I will admit that I don't know much about the business side of the games industry. Would EA ever agree to sell the Star Wars license now that we are about to experience a franchise being milked like nothing ever has before? Definitely not. Even in the impossible scenario where they choose to sell it, the only publishers with pockets deep enough to buy it would be Activision and maybe Take-Two. So pick your poison

Other pro tip for dogfighting: if you're trying to shake someone who's tailing you pretty close, cut your speed and turn hard diagonally up and to the right or left. It makes it harder for your opponent to track you by radar since you're gaining altitude while circling back around.
