Skoll posted:You can unlock like four alien heads once you rank to level 40. Yeah but its like four alien heads, only one gender of each race, and only at level 40. There should be more options and sprinkled throughout the levels, this is star wars. Hopefully the dlc will add a few options, like Wookies.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. If you read my posts in the last thread, one of my biggest issues with this game is how they made a cosmetics system and then completely dropped the ball with it.

Daily Forecast posted:I think it's worth mentioning that you can get this game for like $40 on Origin.com if you use a Mexican IP to put it into your cart before you buy it. I'm going to quote myself from the previous thread as a guide to doing this without going through too much fuckery: Moartoast posted:Use a Mexican VPN (FlyVPN's trial accounts have one for Mexico City that works just fine) and log into the Origin client on it (make sure two-step authentication is set up, just in case), it should list the game at about $40 USD and the season pass at $33 USD, use Paypal to pay (and log off the VPN at checkout when you're about to log into Paypal, obviously) and you're golden. Key sites don't seem to have it for any cheaper, and have been having issues due to the game unlocking later for some regions outside the US. If you bought the game for full base price, I'd say get a refund and rebuy it and the season pass with the Mexican VPN. It's like you're paying $15 USD for the Season Pass on top of the normal retail price of the base game, rather than the full $50. Dunno how quickly Origin lets you rebuy a game you refunded tho, so I dunno if that totally checks out. Also I still get to personally make "full game is actually $110" jokes because Canadian funbux and taxes on those funbux sux without the mexican vpn the base game is $80, the season pass is $70 and the ultimate edition is $170

It let me do it no problem, and I even kept all of my levels and unlocks. I guess spending eighty bucks had less sting to it because that day I also felt really good about fuckin' nailing a job interview that's gonna get me a lot more funbux. I'm so bad at videogames, I barely get a 1:1 K/D most rounds, sometimes less. I know a lot of it isn't about K/D but I still think it's a good indicator of how good you are at it in general.

Just held down the third stage indoor uplink station on Sullust by myself as Fett. Flamethrower owns indoors, even took down a damaged Luke with my rocket when he was seeking shelter. I didn't run or shoot anything until they came inside, so I didn't shot up on radar much. loving teammates wouldn't come in to secure it with me though, I eventually died but the rebels didn't get any Y wings added to the attack run from that uplink. Just before that I was rebels on Endor and man, the anti-vehicle turret owns, had it perched on a cliff directly beside the AT-AT when it was vulnerable, it stayed for so long and did heaps of damage. Imperials just weren't shooting at it.

Ah. Welp. Anyway, new post from EA http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/news/start-of-your-star-wars-adventure And from eurogamer about the new gamemode Turning Point on one of the two Jakku Maps (presumably the large walker assault/conquest map) Edit: Jakku teaser as a reminder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19mtbHG7WdY http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-11-24-star-wars-battlefronts-battle-of-jakku-dlc-introduces-turning-point-mode quote:Star Wars: Battlefront's upcoming free Battle of Jakku DLC will bring a new 40-player Turning Point experience to the sci-fi shooter. So Basically MCOM/Rush mode from Battlefield, except with branching pathways for the capture points. I also read somewhere the other day that Dice added a bunch of rocks to Jakku as cover but Lucasfilm said they wanted it to copy the look of the location in the film, as a sandy desert so they replaced a bunch of the rocks as crashed debris from the space battle. drunkill fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Nov 25, 2015 |

If you can keep a 1:1 while playing for objectives in the big maps you should be just fine. Having that go up will be mainly in learning good timings, flankings, etc. For example, spawns are in waves, so seeing people start to spawn in the y-wing phase is a great spot for an orbital. The spots people like to watch from, for example phase 2 sullust there will always be like 3 rebels by that one turbolaser, because it is out of line of sight from the walkers and there is an e-web turret by it. Stuff like that, maybe a good timing on an at-at or hero pickup can bump you up to 30-40 kills pretty easily, and even with 20+ deaths (because you're pushing objectives super hard and not camping one) you still have a decent ratio and probably top 3-5 on the scoreboard. Make some new hands to bring to different maps, jetpack is good almost all the time, but you could have an "indoor death hand" that you swap to when you're just inside that's like explosive shot+thermal det+barrage/impact. If they other team has some annoying people using homing missiles, maybe make a hand with smoke grenade for hoth so you can smoke+capture. Also remember that you can switch your main gun every spawn, so as the map changes you can switch that up too. I've been slowly settling on barrage as my standard other card. Bowcaster is decent but the charge time is a bit wonky for how I play, maybe I just need more time with it. Impact grenades are essentially 1 target which I don't feel is worth it, thermals seem like a decent other option that I should go play more with. Barrage spreads enough that often I can get 2, and I only fail to get my main guy when I'm doing a long shot sometimes. Pulse+bounty is great for maps where you can put good pressure on control points from a distance like hoth and sullust, but endor I never use it and tatooine only for the first phase. Bounty feels like the best trait overall to me now. The added utility/damage you can pull out is pretty great, and often feels more useful. I guess the rest of the traits are more defensive, and in general so much of doing well seems to be having a good offense instead. I can get up to trait level 3 on bounty a lot more consistently than on the others, probably because pulling a grenade or smart rocket is a straight +1 or +2 kills usually, and even the other options are good for a kill or distracting the enemies while you blast them. Scout is good on endor for rebels, lets you truck around and still surprise people, but rebels hardly need the help on that map. The other options (minus sharpshooter) aren't bad or anything, just they don't really help you survive a fight till higher ranks, while if bounty kicks in at the lower ranks it can be pretty huge, and at rank 3 the power-up+cooldown refresh is huge. I've yet to get bodyguard to 3 I think, how much does that reduce blaster damage by? I've found that the multi-shot guns with explosive shot are really awesome. Probably the safest way to breach a door or other close quarters setup is to engage that and pre-fire as you round the corner. Impacts don't cover enough area to kill more than 1, and the other grenades take long enough that they're grenading back and/or falling back. Also the best way to kill heroes that I've found by far, just really mows them down.

Shock troopers have a t21, and the royal guard have like a beefy version of the rebel gun. Or at least I'm pretty sure it does more damage than the normal one? Also they both get a rocket that is twice as strong as a smart rocket, and a homing missile. Both those two are cooldown based. Basically they're great.

Boba Fett on endor supremacy is just the most hilarious, evil thing regardless of showing on the map. Also they had a news update earlier saying well be getting more free maps and bits and bobs on top of the DLC packs so that's something. Also for those on the fence it's really good, the shooting is grade A fun as gently caress, and once you actually learn the gear infantry play is really pretty well balanced. The main issues to me are the obvious ones. It's pretty light on content and there are some standout balance issues on maps, usually relating to map boundaries not shifting between phases and letting an imperial into a turret behind your lines early. Imperial fighters are flat out worse than rebel ones which is fine in modes where they have the atst ground advantage and a bit of a fuckin pain in squadron. I don't know how you work around that. Basically the big spectacle modes are really fun but sometimes a bit unfair. The small death match modes are really loving fun and tightly crafted except hero hunt which can gently caress right off.

Until you realize it means 70 heads you can put on both rebels and Imperials, 4 unique rebel alien heads, 2 unique imperials and 4 female bodies for the imperials*.  * I didn't count but I think that's about it. EDIT: I also just realized that you can create several "hands" but must chose 2 as your primary and secondary per map. So you can actually make an anti vehicle loadout, endor loadout, hoth loadout etc. Hopper fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Nov 25, 2015 |

Rebels are definitely better but I see imperials win fairly often (when I'm playing as them basically  ). The dumb fact that teams don't get shuffled means that if a team gets an unassailable selection of better players is going to stay that way.

It is a videogame, they don't give a poo poo if the Emperor shows up at the battle of Jakku. Why should they? He shows up on Hoth and Sullust too. It is non-canon (in that it has no storymode, the tie-in book is canon) Although in the inevitable TFA DLC pack we'll no doubt get Captain Phasma in her Stealth? suit of armour and Kylo Ren and his kickass crossguarded lightsaber for the Empire/First Order and probably Chewie and Finn or Rey for the Rebellion/Resistance.

Hey, is anyone still playing the Base Command game in the companion app? I'm on the final mission (#50), but I cannot build a good enough deck to get most of the units down at any decent rate. Funnily enough, I have no problem with the Emperor, Boba and Vader - it's just that the vehicles are so powerful AND have first strike, so what am I meant to do??
